Running Wallpaper Cycler on Windows 95

Windows 95 is not officially supported anymore. On Windows 95, you might need to download and install 50comupd.exe. If you don't then certain things will not work and might even lead to a crash of Wallpaper Cycler. For example adding an image to a category would make the program crash if you do not have this installed. If you experience such problems, please see known issues to download this update.
