I stumbled across this article that describes problems that Windows95 
users are having while trying to install games. Apparently DirectX5, 
created by Microsoft to make games run better, is causing problems. A few 
tidbits from the article:

"The collection of software components aims to let programmers write 
games that run better on Windows. Instead, it's trashing computers."

"In many cases DirectX5 is loaded into your machine without warning. It 
happened to me not once but twice. The end result? Six hours of desperate 
loading, unloading, reinstalling and recalibrating."
