    Not a Valid Win32 Application

    Not a Valid Win32 Application

    Thanks, Actually I am running the 32-bit edition will be 5.1.2600. What does that mean? I've checked my startup and services, and the only thing I see, is a program within Nero called InCD. Is that something I should be worried about? I reset the settings to do nothing when a CD is in the...

    Not a Valid Win32 Application

    Thanks PRPhx, and cdogg, But I dont' know what version of XP I'm using. I just know its a Service Pk 2 on a Intel Core 2 processor. I just updated the driver, and still it doesn't work. It works in the Safe Mode, but not in the normal mode. It does work on another computer, and I don't...

    Not a Valid Win32 Application

    No problem, but yeah it is an original. The first one I had wasn't an original, and thats what prompted me to purchase the actual software and see if that was the problem. Well what I did, I copied the software from the drive by using Ctrl + C, then paste it to the desktop and ran the...

    Not a Valid Win32 Application

    Thanks wahnula, and kjv1611, but no avail. Everythings seems to be starting up properly, and all the services are correct. I didnt' see anything un-checked. I'm guessing it has something to do with the drive though, correct? B/c of the "E:\ not a valid win32 application" errror. I even...

    Hello all, I'm having problems with a SATA to IDE dongle I purchased. I have a SATA hard drive, which was my main drive on my SATA computer, but that computer has crashed. It reported an error with windows after I tried to partition a drive, and on the restart, Windows wouldn't start. So...

    Computer Shuts Down then Restarts/Torrents

    Thanks ASG0856, and kestrel1. Actually there have been times, when I've turned on the computer I have an error message saying that the CPU temp is too hot, but I just thought it was nothing. I didn't know how to bring the temp down. How do I find out if the fan can handle my computer? I try...

It shuts down w/o warning, and then restarts again, and shuts down then restart, and does this over and...
