Hi Philip,
        Have you run Windows Update?  I wonder if, perhaps, the effect was to
install an older version of DirectX over that which you had with Windows
95.
        In a somewhat comparable situation (a game requiring DirectX 6 was
installed without DirectX 6), the person first had to install DirectX 6
(which you *should* get with Windows Update), then went to Control
Panel--System--Device Manager, located the Sound Card, clicked
Properties, and then clicked the Update Driver button.
        Here's a Link to Microsoft's DirectX page if you want to cut to the
chase:
