Wolfram Research, Inc., has released a update (referred to by 
Mathew) which allows Mathematica 2.2.3 for Windows to run with 
Windows 95. This update replaces Mathematica's local protocol, 
and allows Mathematica to run on a Windows 95 system without 
the installation of TCP, which was previously necessary. The 
update can be obtained from MathSource. The MathSource item 
number is 0207-841.

If you are deleting and reinstalling Mathematica you will 
probably also need to delete the MATHLINK.INI file, which will 
most likely be in C:|OS|WIN95 under Windows 95 or in the main
Windows directory under Windows 3.x.

MathSource is accessible by email (mathsource at wri.com), by
anonymous ftp/gopher (mathsource.wri.com) and by World Wide
Web (http://www.wri.com/MathSource.html).

If you need further help with this I would suggest that you 
contact Wolfram Research Technical Support (support at wri.com,
or support-europe at wri.com in Europe) directly.

I hope this helps.
