Microsofts DirectDraw Helper DirectDraw is a component of DirectX. DirectX is a Windows technology which enables higher performance in graphics and sound when you are playing games, watching videos, or using some graphics software packages. DirectX does this by providing software writers with a platform (a programming layer) which enables them to access all the advanced features of modern graphics and sound cards (3D rendering, 3D sound, audio effects, graphics acceleration) without having to write code specific to every single graphics or sound card out there all the software manufacturer needs to do is specify, for example, that this game will only run on a 32Mb 3D graphics card. DirectDraw is a major component of the DirectX architecture and is effectively the "interpreter" between the software you are running and the display driver for your graphics card. Under Windows 95/98/ME DirectDraw is loaded into memory and managed by DDHELP. DDHELP runs as a transparent process you can only see it through a program like Starter.
