that directx7a is intended for win98, dont know how it will perform under win2k, and im also guessing that a win2k version might not be provided since the fix of directinput, hence 7a will be included in later versions of win2k.

Well, Good news!
 
I installed 2195, and lo and behold my key-sticking problems went away with Quake 3. I used DXDiag, and checked the DLLs, but they were still identical to 7.0. Whatever was causing the problem wasn't DX7.
 
I am still not sure if it works flawlessly, my "MOUSEWHEELUP" and "MOUSEWHEELDOWN" are still intermitent, but all other functions seem okay.
