I've been trying to use Retrozilla on PCem Windows 95, and it successfully installed. However, when I click the icon to open it, the firebreathing splash screen opens very shortly and then closes. How can I fix this and use Retrozilla to browse the web?

Installing Internet Explorer 5.5 did the job for me, you could try that. RetroZIlla worked fine after that.

you need installing DCOM95 first in order to use retrozilla/rzbrowser.

JimmBuck commented 1 month ago

I've tried both these solutions but neither have worked so far.

BTW tried on a Win95 RTM CHT with just VMWare Tools installed(which also implies DCOM95 and Windows Installer as well), and it works: image

It's weird - Firefox 1.0 or whatever it is works fine on it, but for some reason Retrozilla doesn't

I wonder if you have KernelEx installed? a Win98SE with KernelEx, I can get a crash in debug build: image and ollydbg doesn't work well: image

I got a VM with symptoms like yours and debug build shows an assertion fail: image

trying to continuing execution but it got no window showing.

replacing with release build, and it starts flawlessly. so it is completely a mystery to me now. image
