  • the menu desktop shortcuts and start to return a *.lnk not a win32 application invalid

    shortcuts on the desktop and start menu retrun all error "*.lnk not a win32 application valid."  applications work at the opening of the program files folder, but when I send the request to the computer desk or crerate a shortcut and drag on the desktop, I get the same Win32 error when I try to open them from the desktop

    You can try the solution from this article: fixes for Windows Vista file association (I know, it's for Vista, but it contains exactly the same values in the registry for .lnk)

    But I'm confused because this issue should only concern the specific account, if this account contains more extra value in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.lnk\UserChoice (this path should not exist in the registry). I mentioned only the key main ".lnk" with two subkeys: "OpenWithList" and "OpenWithProgids", I understand that you do not have this key "UserChoice"?

  • Pavilion DV7-3060us: BIOS restore file "not a win32 application invalid" (Pavilion DV7)

    I have an intermittent (about 19 times out of 20) on a Pavilion DV7-3060us BIOS failure.  After that you press power, the fan and the light turns on, the screen remains black and lock/num lock flashing twice, pause, flash twice, etc..  Sometimes, the computer will boot normally to Win7.   Near as I can understand, I need to reflash the BIOS.  I downloaded the image file winflash/BIOS (SP47531.exe) the drivers and software page, but when I try to run it, I get a "...". not a Win32 valid request"message.

    Any advice on how to get this file to run it, or another method to solve the failure of startup issue, would be very much appreciated.

    So much worse... apparently the problem is I downloaded the file through Chrome.  Downloaded with IE on another machine, recorded on a USB key, it connected the USB on the machine of problem without difficulty.  Does not seem to have solved my problem starting, but the 'valid not a Win32 application' error has been resolved.

    Hello

    • This happens with all the executable files?
    • What changes have been made on the front on this issue?
    • This only happens when you try to install a program?

    If there is a problem with software programs during the installation, where they have downloaded recently? Because you get these error message, especially when the files are corrupted. You will need to re-download the files or if they were downloaded before running a scan on your computer since the utilities below and check if there are infections that causes this problem.

  • Error message cannot open the file PF.zip draws in learing Adobe Total training, "The TXLO7ES_PF.zip is not a valid Win 32 application".

    Original title: Why do I get a message that a Total Training Adobe project file cannot be opened because it is not a valid Win32 application?

    I can't open a file PF.zip of the learing Adobe Total Training Library. I should be able to double-click on the file and it should work. Instead, I get a message that says: he cannot find the right... program and then another message said that "the TXLO7ES_PF.zip is not a valid Win 32 application."  Adobe technology training Total said that it looks like a Microsoft problem and she could not help me. I would really appreciate help with this.

    Hello

    1. Are you able to open another PDF and zip files?
    2. Did you the latest changes on the computer before this problem?

    This problem can occur if the file is corrupted, incorrect or missing and if the file is infected with the virus, a worm, or other malware.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.
    Error "not a Win32 application invalid. File downloaded
     
    Method 2:
    If you have downloaded this file and verified that it is complete and compatible with your version of Windows, delete the file and try to download and run again. It is possible during the download, the file is corrupted.
     
    If the second download does not work, try to download the file to a different Web page. It is possible that the person or company to maintain the website downloaded by mistake a corrupted version of the file that you are trying to download.
     
    Method 3:
    If the problem persists you can scan your computer anti-virus using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Microsoft safety scanner will help us to get rid of software viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  • Satellite U300 PSU3DA: error: could not open the file attribute execution of concept maps

    I have a PSU3DA-U300 which I changed from Vista to XP.
    This is because my main computer use will be for navigation (boat) and I was told that most navigation programs will work better with XP. I have almost nothing on my laptop so far, and the system already seems to be slow and freezing too often.

    My question is now on the program of concept maps which I just installed and which does not open. He repeats to me "Eorror: could not open the file attribute.

    What does that mean? I uninstall and reinstall the program, and he comes back with this message.
    I had a glance at the Device Manager, and the only thing that seems incorrect is the PCI memory controller.
    I did a bit of research on this and it seems that this driver is not required for XP? Is this true?

    Would this be a cause of C-Maps program does not?

    Thanks in advance.

    > I did a bit of research on this and it seems that this driver is not required for XP? Is this true?
    Where did you read this info?
    I put t know if the driver is not required, but you get all the drivers on the Toshiba site.

    For your problem with concept maps, I think that it is best to contact you that support the conceptual maps. Here, this is a forum for Toshiba laptops.

  • I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

    I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

    I'm probably not explaining my problem fairly - well, I scanned something in - I used Nuance Paperport.  I have it attached to an email and sent to six people - including myself.  I always open the attached file to make sure that the computer has sent the right thing.  When I tried to open the attachment I got the message "cannot open the file - I have already sent you."  I think that Norton Security got rid of the file I need.  I think I will contact them.  I tried to contact Nuance - but alas, my warranty has expired, so no help there unless I want to pay for it.  If I can't have the problem solved through Norton, I will contact you again.  Thank you very much for taking the time to try to help me.  Have a great Thanksgiving action!

    ================================================
    Your explanation was nice... that was my answer that failed.

    I was hoping that you would simply copy the scan of your temporary
    Internet files folder and paste it on your desktop. Then you might
    evaluate what is the problem. I thought that trying to open
    with such a long way email could be a problem. And also... it's possible
    be a file association problem. And it could be a matter of file size.

    I understand that you care why the attachment to the email
    failure and I think you need to find what is the problem with the scan
    before fastening will be successful.

    Hello

    Was the HP works well before game console? If Yes, then do you remember any hardware/software changes, after which the problem started?

    Method 1: I would say you put the computer to boot and then check if the problem is caused by any third-party application.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2: I would say as you uninstall and reinstall the HP game console and check to see if it helps:

    Uninstall or change a program
