You can right click on the icon and open properties. Then click on "run this
program in compatibility mode for:" and set it for Windows 95.

I run several old programs using this. It works.

Good luck.

There's no such generic, one-size-fits-all solution; You'd have to ask
the manufacturer of each individual Win95 application if they've
developed such a "patch." Odds are, they'll simply want to sell you a
modern version of their product.

In some cases, WinXP's Compatibility Mode might help:
