What the heck is that? I can't play a game because it said the exe is an invalid WIN32 application.

Sounds like it's a 16 bit program (win98/95/3.1) trying to run on a 32 bit system (Win2k, NT4, NT3.51)

Usually this is the result of the executable being corrupted. Are you trying something from a &quot;fan ban&quot; CD?

dimsum: if your &quot;fan ban tip&quot; has is one of the usual ones selling, then it's probably a bad burn. I don't know if you can still go back and get it swapped....but you should try.
