Recent Windows releases of Ghostscript will not run on Windows 95, because they are built with Visual Studio 2005 - and VS2005 doesn't support Win95. We changed to VS2005 in order to support the 64 bit Windows builds. Ghostscript itself should run on Win95, if built with a suitable Visual Studio release - I believe VS2003 still supports Win95. So, sorry, but the only option is to find a copy a VS2003 and build Ghostscript yourself - or update to an OS for which support wasn't dropped by its vendor very nearly ten years ago! Chris
