• error code while trying to open the photos include JPEG and BMP files: C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\My Documents\My Pictures\img005.jpg is not a valid Win32 application

  I withdrew just a very good old scanner which apparently couldn't handle the recent installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 or 3, and went with a rather nice Epson V330 Photo.   I uninstalled all old software, want my images to JPEG and BMP to open in Adobe PhotoShop Elements 8 for editing and development.  It is my job and my hobby and means of photography technique.  I reinstalled the scanner by removing the Arcsoft software with which it has been furnished, which is not really suitable for what I do.

  Now, I can not open JPEG in PhotoShop Elements 8.0 and here I get the error message:

  C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\My Documents\My Pictures\img005.jpg is not a valid Win32 application

  It seems to have something to do with the hack with the folder options after that I spilled the Arcsoft as any kind of primary program.

  BUT I have to open JPEG files, and it MUST be in PhotoShop Elements 8, I bought.  I can see, overview and could open to the limited capacity of some of the ArcSoft stuff, but I'm not interested in distance using that.

  How can I get these files/folders to open in something useful?  I was able to create JPEG on the new scanner, but now my computer opens not those or 'old' of my files.   See the warning message.

  I'm trying to uninstall all the software now and do not reinstall the stuff of Arcsoft, which would not be useful for me in any setting.   But I do not think that this will be the solution, as my computer can not open these key files in PhotoShop Elements 8.0.

  I think it's something I did during the passage, but I did system restore and NO RESULT.  NONE!

  If you open a directory of photos and go to the thumbnail view in Explorer, they display the thumbnails correctly?
   
  I think that you need to reset the file association for programs that open the image files.  Try a right-click on a jpeg file and go to properties and click on the button to edit, and then designate PS elements 8 as the top program open with, and then see if it works very well.
   
  You can also check the settings in the registry for the types of image files.  Seewww.oehelp.com/noimg.aspx , which deals with a related issue.

  Cleaning a compromised system

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

  If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

• If someone got the error message "D:\ is not a valid win32 application". I tried to download a program TurboTax 2011.

  This error message came while the TurboTax2011 program was the location of D. I asked TurboTax answer just support group and they felet it was s defective drive. Then Justy response gave me advice to contact Microsoft and ask the support group to see if the program Windows win32 file has been corrupted. When I get my replacement of TurboTax 2011, I will try to download tis agaion so I can make my 2011 tax return. * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  First of all, you want to say 'install', not 'download '.

  Secondly, we have a number of problems in installing TurboTax 2011 that have nothing to do with a faulty CD - even though it was my first reaction when I got such a mistake - although it was not the exact message that you declare.

  This article of TurboTax resolved things for me:

• Update keeps trying to install updates and does not have service pack 3 XP

  I had to reinstall Visual Studio 2005 and now the KB2584146, KB2598479, KB2603381, KB2631813, KB2646524 keep wanting to install and maintain otherwise.

  Looks like you may have hidden a (security) update to SQL Server or one may have been 'stuck' in the queue of the update. Here again, she may have been related to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968749.

  In any case, I suspect that MS support have been able to discover this, too - you had opened a free support incident.

  Once again, good luck with the 14 Feb-12 updates.

• Tried to install downloaded like mozilla and google chat .exe files but recover corrupted file error!

  I just new laptop ASUS K42F with Windows 7 Home. Tried to install the basic downloaded such as Mozilla and Google Chat programs, but continue to get the "corrupted file error (more information go to nsis.sf.net/NSIS_error). How to remedy this situation so that I can download updates etc in the future.

  Hello

  There are many different factors can be attributed to your question.  It could be your network card, a problem with your ISP, Modem, or any other number of things.  Something happens during the download process that causes your files get corrupted.  We would like a little more info to help solve your problem.

  Are you connected via a wired or wireless?
  If you are connected wireless; you could try to connect with a wire and then try the downloads.

  Who is your Internet service provider, and what kind of equipment do you use to connect to their service? 

  You may have a faulty modem.  You can call most of the suppliers and ask them to test your equipment/connection to see if it is the problem.

  You have other computers on your network?

  If the answer is "Yes"; do you have the same results as the download of files on them?

  All type of internet security applications or third-party firewall you use?

  If the answer is "Yes";  try temporarily disabling them and download your files.

  You are connected to a router?

  If you are, try to connect directly to the modem and see what kind of results you get.

  If none of this helps, please post your hardware specs so that we can give you more troubleshooting steps
