It *will* run under Win95, and very well, too.  I had a similar 
problem at first, but both music and SFX are now all present and 
accounted for.  Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what I did 
to get it running....  I think it was this:  don't use the Win95 
installer ("Add/Remove"), but instead exit to DOS and install the 
game the "old-fashioned" way.  Then run the game from Win95.

...btw, do you have a Packard Bell with AzTech sound drivers?  If so, 
that might be your problem; those drivers have clashed with Win95.  
You'll find updated drivers on the Win95 CD, which you'll need to copy
over into your Windows/System file.  Don't give up -- it's a great 
game!  :-)
