We are dropping support for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 in the 5.10 release and future releases.

Basically Microsoft dropped support for both OS’s when they developed Visual Studio 2005 and so the C Runtime Library no longer works on both Win95 and WinNT40. We need the C Runtime Library to handle things like file and memory management.

For anybody using Win95 or WinNT40 you should be able to continue using 5.8.
