My computer runs on Windows XP and one of my daughters'
learning cd / program needs Windows 95. Is there a way to
run Windows 95 application on a Windows XP system? Quick
response would be a blessing. Thanx.

An application that runs on Windows 95 should have no problem on
WindowsXP. In the odd case that it does, use XP's compatibility mode.
Right-click the executable file (or the short-cut that starts it),
choose "Properties", then click the "Compatibility" tab. Click the
"Run this program in compatibility mode for" box, then choose "Win95"
from the drop-down.
