Hi-
I had the same problem with Copernic and it was never resolved. I
worked to follow every suggestion they made with no result. I, too,
have Windows95a so perhaps that is the problem. Only Copernic knows
how prevalent it is and if it worth a workaround from them. I cannot
be of help, only consolation.
