It's peculiar that you do not have DirectDraw since you are using Windows XP. DirectDraw is one of the many components that come with Microsoft's DirectX.

 

Start-> Run-> dxdiag

 

Your DirectX information will be shown. You noticeably have a very old computer. What I would suppose is that your video card (VGA) does not support DirectX at all? I've never seen such a case, but it's a guess as WinBench 99 seems pretty outdated, it shouldnt rely on any of the newer versions. Usually video cards have problems running newer versions like DirectX 9.0b.
