Very likely you met a problem with the "env.variables" memory under Win 9x.
It is about 256 bytes (there is no typo here, I did not miss "K", it is not 256 Kbyte
it is very 256 bytes).
By this reason the setting you think you did were discarded and ROOTSYS variable
was not installed at all.
First you have to increase that memory via "Dos Prompt" -> "Properties"
On another hand to forget this problem ROOT should use the Windows registry
rather env. variables under Windows.
