Hi Maurice,
DINPUT.DLL stands for DirectInput and is a component of DirectX.
You should install DirectX 8.1, which is available for download for free
from Microsofts download section.
Just follow this link and select "DirectX 8.1 Runtime"
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads
Anyway, the "nature" of emulation requires a quite fast computer, so
using Steem may not be satisfying with a 486DX. It may be too slow
to be able to emulate an Atari ST at 8 MHz clock speed.
Best,
Stefan
