After Dark Disney Screen Saver Problem

This one's probably a longshot, but I thought I'd throw this one out there...
The "Beauty and the Beast" module does not display colours properly. I have an SVGA
monitor on IBM PS/1 internal video (I have a modular PS/1 with an external monitor)
and everything turns up wrong. I know it's not supposed to based on the picture in
the manual and also because I've watched the movie before and know what the characters
are supposed to look like.
I'm not sure if it's a conflict with Windows 95 or not...I normally display the Magic
Kingdom module and it works fine UNLESS I'm working in Word 97--maybe it's a conflict
between the After Dark engine and Windows 95's palettes?
I recall it working fine on Windows 3.1. When I first bought this screen saver in
1995 I was still running 3.1 and there were no problems. Took it off when I upgraded
to Windows 95 initially only because I was short on hard drive space. I decided to
get it back out a month ago just for old time's sake. It's been over a decade since
I had it installed so my memory is pretty faint about any conflicts or whatnot. I
read through the manual from cover to cover and couldn't find anything about conflicts
with certain computers--it came out after my PS/1 was made but before Windows 95.
I didn't even have my sound card yet when I first got it and am just now enjoying
all the sounds that are in this collection!
Berkeley Systems (the developer) is long gone, so I can't ask them about it. If anyone
out there has this oldie but goodie, or has experience with IBM PS/1 Consultants
(that's the name of the computer, not a profession) from 1993, please let me know
if there's some setting I could adjust or something to get it to work.
FYI: My hardware...50MHz 486, internal video adaptor for the IBM PS/1 (I think it's
configured as a Cirrus Logic), standard IBM SVGA display (the PS/1 model), 16MB RAM,
Creative Labs AWE32 sound card, and of course Windows 95 (upgrade edition).
