*.exe is not a valid win32 application
Hi everybody
In my windows XP Pro I can't run any .exe file from my DVD Rom, but I can run them on my hard drive, Even I can't copy anything from a DVD to my hard drive. and when I run .exe file there is some prompt message like "setup.exe is not a valid win32 application" or something like that.
I would really appreciate if anyone can help

Well, just based on the info you have in your post, it looks to me like you have a 32 bit system and are trying to run a 64 bit application on it. This won't work.

It could be a cyclic redundancy error, due to an unreadable disc. Try cleaning it.
