Does it have a CD burner? Burn the files to a CD. You could also slave the drive to another computer and access the file system. As long as it's not a boot drive, it won't load Win95, but you should still have access to the files.

If all else fails, take it to Best Buy, or something similar. They can pull data from old drives and it's not too expensive.

EDIT: Just saw this, "would taking the drive out of the machine and getting and IDE to USB cable and plugging into into a new computer to get the files off work? this is the only idea i could come up " -- it would just show up the same way an external drive would like I explained above. You wouldn't really even need to slave it, just attach as a secondary storage device.
