DirectX installers fail if the version you currently have is the same or higher than what the installer is trying to put onto your system. So unless the drivers installed DirectX 9 you still have DirectX 8.1.

Ok, thats good news..

Is version 5.01.2600 directx8?? Maybe the overall version number is 5.01.2600??

No, that's the version of dxdiag that comes with DirectX 8.1. Your DirectX version is 4.08.01.0810 which is version 8.1 because Windows XP has this version built right into it.
