Well, the first thing I'd do is look around for an update from Connectix, they may have addressed this in an update. Failing that, I wouldn't bother with Win95 to begin with, try to install DOS 6.22 on it and have it running. Then install Win95. Also, make sure that the VPC settings are correct, I have VPC5 and there are a few settings that you can change such as Boot HD etc, you may need to play around with it a little. As a last resort (normally you should do that first!!!), look in the manual and see if you can solve the problem from there.
