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! :-)
