That's because the current IR tower requires USB and Windows 95 didn't
support USB (well, except for Windows 95B but I think most of the USB
drivers were custom/non-standard).
It might work with Windows 95 if you get the old serial tower. I picked
a serial tower at and was going to give it a try but haven't had the time
yet.
If someone can confirm it works, you can pick up a serial tower at the
Pitsco Lego Dacta store for $29.
W779713 Infrared Transmitter and Cable Pack (Serial) $29.00

Or you could try getting the older v1.0 or v1.5 sets on eBay, they used
the serial tower.
