I think a Win startup crasher was fixed a few days ago. Could you retry with a
recent build?

Comment 2

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Reporter: this is a dupe of bug 80029 (already fixed)
Please try it again with a newer build.
Reopen if you that doens´t fix your problem.

Reporter: Which build crash at startup ?
If you see this problem not with 2001050515 than this is not a dupe of bug 80029
and you should try it with a new profile.
(run mozilla -profilemanager).
And if you see the crash with a new profile you should try it with a new build 
(as Oliver suggests)

reopening and waiting for the reporters answer.
Sorry for the SPAM (I shouldn´t duping bugs while I´m tired)

I confirm for Win98

I downloaded the installer from 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/ last night just at midnight 
right coast time.  It died upon launch.

I just completed DLing mozilla-win32-installer.exe 11-May-2001 23:27 7.8M - the 
current lastet -  and the problem persists.  It is dying just after the flaming 
Moz flash frame.  I did try to launch the profile manager aslo with the same 
result.

[Oliver Klee]

Confirming as per Ben's comments.

Stephen, Ben, could you provide a stack trace or talkback ID?

Attachment: install status log

Comment 7

[Ben Guthrie]

I installed with the quality feedback option, where do I find the talkback id?

98 doesn't have a DrWatson, is there an equivalent file I can find?

Comment 8

[Ben Guthrie]

build id: 2001051208

now working for me on Win98

Comment 9

[Stephen.Pickering]

Have tried various release, final version is build ID: 2001051220, still 
crashes, message has changed slightly (new location):

Instruction at "0x77f821e1" referenced memory at "0x000000ac". The memory could
not be "read".

Again, ignoring application error and Mozilla seems to work, but press the OK 
on the error dialog and mozilla crashes.

I will today's download when available.

BTW: Works on another machine I use.

If you crash and talkback picks up the crash it will assign the incident an ID.
 You can get the incident ID by re running the talkback.exe.  Please attach the
IDs here.  Also, if you cannot get the ID please post teh email address you
included in the report and the time you sent it.  TH=hanks.

Just had a cable modem installed, had problems getting dhcp going so completely 
removed ZoneAlarm, guess what, Mozilla works !

Re-installed Mozilla release 0.81.

ZoneAlarm v2.6 was disabled, but installed, don't know if it would be a problem 
if it were running ?

I have a firewall now so I don't need ZoneAlarm.
