Hi,
The reason some VCL code won't run under Win9X is because the new
GraphUtil introduced in D2005 and enhanced in D2006 includes a call to
the GradientFill API function. This function resides in a dll
(msimg32.dll from memory) that doesn't exist on Win9x. You can copy
the DLL to a Win9x box and it works however I'm not sure that is
within the ms license.
I have no idea why RAVE doesn't work on Win9x as I don't use it. The
VCL uses the GradientFillCanvas function (which wraps GradientFill) in
TControlBar, TToolbar, TCategoryButtons and TCaptionedDockTree. If you
don't use these classes (or in the case of TControlBar and TToolbar
don't use the Gradient Style) then you should be fine under Win9x.
Lots of web sites seem to offer this DLL for download, and there is a
chap here:

Who has written enough of the missing function to allow it to work under
95 and NT4 so...
