Hello Ann,

Take a deep breathe and slow down, you're getting a lot of advice trying to help (and its difficult to do long distance) but there are several things you should and can do without incurring any cost at this point.

First, seems to me one of your posts said the game installed DirectX drivers. I suspect that the driver version maybe conflicting with your version of Windows but you need to find out what version of Win95 you have and what updates have been installed.

Go to my message 569 for a link address, go to the site and DL QFE List and Win95 Ver. Install both and run Win95 Ver. This will tell you which version of Windows you have. Write it down.

Now use the find file in your start menu to find QFEcheck. Then run QFEcheck and write down (you can't print it) the UPD#s of the registered updates you have installed. Post the Win Version and UPDs (could be 10 or 12 but bet you only have 3 or 4) here.

You could also see if you can find out the make and model of graphics adapter and what VESA standard its driver supports. Might want to see if they have any newer driver available also.

The object is to understand what you have, then see if you need to update. Even if this doesn't fix this problem it will allow you to bring Win95 up to current level while eliminating a possible source of your problem. And the updates are free, just requires your time.
