VC++ 2.2 dows work on win 95 (I've had it running since I got v2.2).... 
you should check that
(1) you REALLY installed vc++ from the CD-ROM under  win 95 (it needs to 
update the registry etc..). I.E> you need to install vc++ 2 times one on 
win nt and one on win 95 (even though you can install it to the same 
place....
(2) that you haven't got unnecessary real mode drivers (in autoexec.bat 
and config.sys)... which might be there from before you upgraded from win 
3.1...
(3) if you are using UniCode in NT, it isn't supported under win95...

hope this helps
