Windows 95 video game CD music problem

Hello. I installed Virtual PC so I could run Windows 95 again and all the
games that work only on that platform. So far, I have only installed "Toy
Story: Power Play" and the "Maui Mallard: Cold Shadow" demo that came with
it. They are not DOS games. They run in separate windows. In both of those
games, the sound effects are delayed by half a second (I can live with that)
and the music doesn't play at all (That's what I want to fix.) I am running
this virtual machine on Windows Vista with over a gig in RAM and (I'm pretty
sure) an Intel sound card.

Is there any way I can make the music play in my virtual Windows 95?

Ok. I'll try it out. Hopefully it also works in VPC 2007. That's the only
version of VPC I can get to work without errors. If it works, thanks for your
help. If it doesn't, thanks for trying.

Sorry. It appears I DID have VM additions installed. So I
uninstalled/reinstalled them, but still, no music. Have any other ideas?

That's correct. Fortunately, the VPC 2004 SP1 Additions will work just fine
in this scenario, with the (fairly insignificant) caveat that they won't be
supported. You can get them from Steve's site here:
