i have downloaded an .exe file from a website but when i try to run it i get the message :........... is not a valid win32 application. i searched on google for help as i'm turd with computers. apparently it means the file is corrupt and it suggested deleting and re-downloading. i have done this 3 time now and still get the same message when i try to run it. am i doing something wrong?

If it's a legit file it's most likely either 16 bit or 64 bit.
It's probably old and is 16bit, what OS are you using?

It's hard to tell exactly what it is without seeing the file.
It's not supposed to run on dos is it?

I take it they mean delete all your internet files/cookies etc, I would say thats a stupid idea but clearing cookies has been known to fix a multitude of problems so i'll not comment.

Not definitely but if it says it's compatible with XP then there is a good chance it is.
