You get the splash screen and then nothing - no select profile dialog, no browser window. Starting with a specified profile (-P profile) does not work either. Tested builds with this error are 2002102504, 2002102508, 20002102704 (all trunk). Latest working build is 2002102415. All builds were downloaded as the talkback-zip files, unzipped in to new directories. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mozilla build 2002102504-trunk or newer on win 95 2. Start mozilla Actual Results: Splash screen shows up, then nada. Expected Results: Mozilla should start. This is not a dupe of Bug 170969 (see bug 170969 comment 26)

I noticed that the newest Phoenix built 2002-10-28-08-trunk loads the IE dll "shfolder.dll" during start-up on my win95 machine. Why is Phoenix/Mozilla using IE dlls?

setting bug status to New. Mozilla and Phoenix builds fail to start on win95. This seems to have been introduced on 10/24 (last known working build was on the 23rd). This is a serious regression and needs to be tracked down.

" OK, I rebooted from my beautiful Linux desktop into Win95, version 4.00.950 retail copy, and pulled down the latest Phoenix build. It does not start, as described on the mozillaZine front page. I copied all the EXE and DLL files into one directory and opened them with the Dependency Walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) and it showed that gkwidget.dll was importing a function called GetGUIThreadInfo from user32.dll which does not exist in my Win95 version of the DLL. I replaced the bad version of gkwindget.dll with the copy from the 10/21 build and Phoenix started fine. MSDN shows "Minimum operating systems: Included in Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 SP3" for GetGUIThreadInfo(). I apologize for posting only here. I do not have a Bugzilla account."

aaronl made changes to widget around the date this began failing. Aaron, does this look like something you could have broken?

I'm using GetGuiThreadInfo to get the currently focused window, according to what MS Windows says it is. If there's another better way to do this I could use that.

I think I might be able to use this instead: HWND GetForegroundWindow(VOID); It's available on win95 and nt 3.1

Saw asa asking for data-points from W95 users--looks like the need is past, but .... win95 4.00.950 C Pentium 350 mhz 64 mb ram 2002102415 was the last working build, spot-checked through 2002103010 w/no joy found. HTH.

checked in

Problem gone in build 2002103110. Veryfing.
