Weird if it is a clone of a working system. Does ANPM show libvpx-legacy-4 as installed?
I guess you could reinstall all failing packages, right click in ANPM and choose reinstall. Make sure you reboot after doing libc and libcx which should be done first.
As for the dot in LIBPATH, there's been quite a bit of discussion whether it should be first or after @unixroot\usr\lib. Some say yes and some say no. The danger is that something starts and has an old version of a DLL in its program directory and that DLL is the one used.

no, it wasn't, found it among the available packages. Once installed, then Firefox runs well.

Still untested your latest suggestions.

Thank you

done this as well.  First of all have to say that libcx (not considered till now) showed to be as previuously existing for i686 arc , then making reinstall for Pentium 4, went ok. Have reinstalled also libc and libstdc++ rebooting each time, went ok.
Then reinstalled every single qt5 package which was taken together with qt5-qtwebengine-example ; all went well except for qt5-qtwebengine, in the attached image you can see the error message that appears when the reinstallation begins. Same now is appearing as I try to run simplebrowser.exe

Looking at this with my Project Engineers hat on it appears the real BIG problem is that we don't have a Qt5 runtime environment, like we have for Qt4, that all the Qt5 programs are run against.  At the moment we have a mish mash of bits of Qt5 that seem to change with the weather - not a way for getting Qt5 programs to run reliably because one program might run but another requires a changed part of the Qt5 environment to run so the program that once ran now stops running.

You are missing icuuc.dll version 68.1-1 - to be found in package libicu (which must match with package icu).

ok, I've found had libicu 56.1-2  i686 installed, and upgraded to 68.1-1 Pentium 4, went ok.
Then rebooted, reinstalled qt5-qtwebengine and went ok, rebooted, run simplebrowser.exe and finally the browser window appeared!!
 :) :)
now, it would be great if it opened webpages as well, it seems not connecting (see first image) for any given url, no matter if I choose YES or NO, it remains blank (second image) .  I also applied Dave's suggestions for highmem loading module in \usr\lib : highmem -c qt5*dll  and   highmem -c av*dll .
But something happens again if I open a New Incognito Window and enter an URL there , here's the next error message (third image)

Yes, qt.io seems to be down quite a bit, it is currently not loading for me.
Try doing CTRL-T to open a new tab and enter https://google.com. If you get the rendering error, just click the try again.
This is a really basic browser so you have to enter the whole address, not just google.com, but https://google.com, and if a site needs www, you have to enter it to.
Glad it came up for you.

it remains blank as well with the "no entrance" symbol, both normal and Incongnito window.

Also have to say that system traps every time I close the simplebrowser window

Try pressing the reload button, and yes it is crashy.

so strange: just worked once among +/-  25 attempts, only with Google.com and only with http (no https) prefix, in Incongnito Window.
Then, starting a research from there, no listed url is selectable since the arrow pointer does not become a hand

Nothing fancy like hand pointers here, try right clicking on one of the links on Google

Just in case. Element is working on Simple Browser.

Element is an Chat client for Matrix. It also has bridges to Libera.Chat IRC and discord.
- Link to some OS/2 Chatrooms: https://matrix.to/#/!gzUtuLkytgQxQPsKNj:matrix.org?via=matrix.aventer.biz&via=matrix.org.

Hi, the ones that can't be opened are locked due to already being opened. Use unlock to unlock them and then set the highmem status. After rebooting (no rush), the highmem status will take affect. For example,
Code: [Select]
unlock sqlite30.dll
highmem -c sqlite30.dll
The xslt.dll error I also saw, ignore it as a non-lx file probably can't be marked high and is small enough not to matter.

Here the browser starts then tries to load a page and simply quits with 2 beeps, so its living only for 4secs. Nothing in the logs and it makes no difference what URL is given.
