I recently installed the pre-compiled binaries for mplayer for Win9x on two machines. On the Win98SE machine, the player works great! However, it will not run under my copy of Win95(b). I have looked through the docs pages, and searched the web, and can't find anything that indicates that it should or should not work under 95. Here is a paraphrase of the error I am receiving: vo_directx (some text about the error being FATAL) failed getting proc address: DirectrDrawCreateFx My Win95 box has DirectX 5, and SiS 5597/5598 video. I have tried using other -vo options, with various other errors encountered. It seemed to get further when I requested 'gl2', instead of the default. I attempted to upgrade DirectX (if that'd help), and couldn't find a more up-to-date version (although I am pretty sure there are newer versions that will run under 95). Also, I tried a couple of the GUI's that are out there. One said it worked with 95, but then reported that MSIMG32.DLL, which didn't not become a part of Windows until Win98, was missing. I assume that means that it (Ruleplayer) does not work with Win95. I also looked for some OpenGL2 drivers, but couldn't find any. I am assuming I am doing something wrong, and am hoping someone can point out what it is. ;-) Thanks! P.S. It seems to do this with multiple format files (i.e. WMV, AVI, etc.).
