Those programs do run, but Windows 95 is warning you that they are
trying to alter the setting of the timer interrupt.  Win95 thinks this
might cause odd behavior in the program.  95% of the time you can safely
ignore the warning.

I believe Shawn is working on modifications to Allegro to avoid tripping
that warning in the future.  In the meantime, you can create a shortcut
to run the program; there should be a check box on the shortcut that
lets you turn off the warning message.
