Try installing the latest version of DirectX? Do non-AGS games work properly with the mouse?

i have a laptop on 95 and you just got to keep trying to download the updates... it never liked running AGS in dos , it might be worth upgrading to win98, the laptop always stalled and froze with 95, i upgraded to XP in theory it should of slowed it down, but its 100% better
