Valid Win32 Application

Feb 17, 2005

This is my first post so I'm likely to appear stupid. I'm of average computer competence but love the things. Short story is this:I have an accounting program in which I have data files for each year of my business. These have been successfully backed up for years on CD and now JumpDrive, and stored on the desktop with a shortcut for easy access.I downloaded and installed SP2. Now when trying to open a file, I get the message C:XXXXXXXXX is not a valid Win32 application. It always was before so what changed?I cannot back up my current files because that is the name I've always used. The computer doesn't recognize the name as valid so I have no security. An ancillary problem is that years ago, my adorable husband somehow associated my old data file to be opened with MusicMatch. (We don't even discuss this.) I managed a workaround so that I got the files to open with their program application even though I could never change the icon from MusciMatch. No harm no foul. No longer. Post SP2, the danged thing went back to opening MusicMatch, ignoring my old workaround. Messing with it for hours got it to where I'm now getting the invalid file messagel.

Heck This C: Is Not A Valid Win32 Application

Feb 21, 2008

I am having trouble accessing some programs. My anti-virus prog, My SpyBot Searech and Destroy and now another Anti Virus prog I just bought and downloaded. After installing and clicking finish I click the icon on the DT and get a message such and such program "is not a valid Win32 application My AV prog I had for 8 months just started doing this three days ago. Just tried EasyCleaner, no luck. Downloaded NoAware and ran it and it showed more crap and some Trojans and W32's , but I can't delete unless I but the registered prog for 49 bucks. Nortons on line virus scan did not show these Trojans or worms. Makes me skeptical of buying more. Some programs work and other don't. I tried System Restore not lick there either. I have been working on this for 2 days.

Program Not A Valid Win32 Application

Jul 23, 2008

I'm troubleshooting a Windows XP (SP2) eMachine (with a fresh OS install on a new hard drive - no original eMachine software remains on the system) and I've never encountered such a persistent problem: certain applications (Fruit Loops, Adobe Acrobat Reader, among others) run fine after installation, but after a reboot they will not run. Their shortcuts, as well as the actual program executables, lose their original icons and are mysteriously changed to the generic window icon (the one Windows will use for a file type is doesn't recognize.) When I try to run these programs, using the desktop shortcut OR the actual executable, I get the error dialog box: "This program is not a valid Win32 application." This happens to several applications, while others (Pro Tools, Acid) remain unaffected and can be executed w/o any problem.

Not A Valid Win32 Application / Doesn't Have The Word Icon

Aug 30, 2005

I recently puchased a new computer with an amd athlon 64 processor running windows xp. I installed office 97 from my original cd. when I try to open word documents in MY DOCUMENTS i get an error message:C:Documents and SettingsOwnerMy DocumentsTest file.doc is not a valid Win32 application. I can open the file if I open Word first and open the file from there.I have selected word as the program to open doc files in folder options.
However when I look at a word created file in my documents it doesn't have the word icon it has an icon which I think might be for word pad.

"cmd/regedit/etc.exe Is Not A Valid Win32 Application"

Jun 20, 2006

I got XP SP2

I never really tried Run -> cmd or Run -> regedit until today but they dont work.

Now, only Run -> cmd.exe or Run -> regedit.exe work! Otherwise it gives the error "file.exe is not a valid Win32 Application."

This doesnt bother me, EXCEPT that as of today when i boot the computer i am hit 3 times with the error message "cmd.exe is not a valid Win32 Application."

I checked C:WindowsSystem32 and the files cmd.exe and regedit.exe and ping.exe and etc are all there, and they are all valid files which work when i run them. There are no files named cmd.com or anything cmd.xxx in the folder.

The only thing i can really think of is that i installed Photoshop CS last night, and now this error has risen.

Maybe some settings got mixed or something? ....
