Take it back to the shop and swap it for a Mac :( But seriously -- the
shop should be able to fix this for you, otherwise they shouldn't be in
the business of selling this stuff.

You've also posted to mostly programming newsgroups. You should probably
have posted to comp.os.ms-windows.setup.win95 or
comp.os.ms-windows.win95.setup (I forget which is the better one). I'm
setting follow-ups to both those newsgroups: follow the story at one of
them.
