Unfortunately that PC is not powerful enough to run Steem, we still can't
figure out what the minimum requirements are but that is definately below
them. Probably need at least 200Mhz with a decent video card, but some
people have found that wasn't enough. There are a few ST emus that might run
on your PC, if you haven't already try PaCifiST or Gemulator. Neither of
them have MIDI unfortunately, so they might not be able to do the job you
want.

Thanks for finding this out, Steem should be able to function without
DirectX but it seems I didn't check the latest version. I've fixed it so the
next version will be able to run without DX installed at all.
