Toshiba Tecra 500cs, Intel P120, 32 MB ram - Windows 95b (4.00.950 B) - using bonic 4.13:
Installing the program went without error. Does not open program after install. Manually opening program will make the bonic icon flash in the system tray for half a second, then disappear, nothing else happens. No loading, no errors. Tried uninstalling, re-downloading and reinstalling, shut downs and restarts - no luck. Thanks for your time.

I believe that Boinc is a 32 bit program and Win95 is/was a 16 bit OS.
That would make them incompatable. You can go backwards but not forwards.

Win95 was the first 32 bit windows OS.

You probably need Winsock2, if you haven't already got it.
