error msg "not a valid win32 application
Hi,
Where and when does this error message appear? Define what you mean by "down load files" as people tend to use this term incorrectly. To download a file means to obtain a file from an external source, such as a web server. My guess is that you are trying to start or install an application, or are trying to open a file from disk. Please clarify for me. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "joepal" wrote in message ... using vista home premium cant open down load files because of error msg can anybody help?

error msg "not a valid win32 application
Thanks for your reply Rick,
I downloaded several e books and files from external sources, mainly on line internet coaches. They are saved in a desktop file I created. When I try to open them, the message " not a valid win32 application appears. Is there any way I can read or print these ebooks and files?

error msg "not a valid win32 application
Hi,
Sounds like whatever application is used to open the files is damaged. I would look to reinstalling it as a possible solution. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "joepal" wrote in message ...
