whenever I try to open any image editing with paint-it tell me it is not a valid WIN32 application

I click on the thumbnail as usual, then I click on the icon of the painting - but I list asking me what program I want to use to open the file (usually jpeg - but mostly ANY file of the photo.  When I click on paint-i tells me that is not a valid WIN32 application.  It worked perfectly until I was told one have a fake version of windows on my computer.  I have a legitimate version but when DELL sent me my computer the doesn't have to send me a copy of windows, only a so-called repair disc that does not work.  mainly, I just want to open my photos with the paint change.  but I you might fix this confusion with the legality of my copy of windows that would be great.
I tried to contact dell at this topic but no response yet.  I am physically disabled and the computer is my "lifeline" to my friends and my family.  Please help me with this.  Thank you.  Robert

  • 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.

  • «.. . DLL is not designed to run on windows... 'and/or'... .exe is not a valid win32 application... ' and/or 'bad image '.

    Programs will no longer work until I reboot (uh, it's rebooting) with one of the following error messages: "...". DLL is not designed to run on windows... 'and/or'... .exe is not a valid win32 application... ' and/or 'bad image '.

    Since I got a malware infection (CloudShield) I have had this problem since. At one point I was Windows Vista (could be minutes, hours or days - it varies) to get one or more of these messages for a variety of programs and the dll for things that worked perfectly well until there.  The most recent was to explore "Explorer.exe is not a windows 32 application '! Obviously, I couldn't have been using my computer and opening existing as an Excel document files and the Explorer window that is currently open if this were true!  Everything I run worked fine, until suddenly something I try to open opens more and gives me one of the errors above.  This does not happen when I run mode without failure.

    I managed to repair some of the damage generated by the CloudShield, including how it has disabled my task manager and other programs of the Control Panel, in what I could find on registry cleaning and removing the exe file that he had pointed to. There is clearly something wrong again. I run sfc/scannow and tried the other recommendations in "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833" who have found no problem.  I use Zonealarm and have run its auditor of the filesystem a couple of times (on the entire Program Files folder and the Temp files) and not found anything wrong either.

  • D:/autorun.exe is not a valid win32 application he came up with this error when I try to install a program on a disk and it is really buggin me

    It is in these exact words and it's annoying me like crazy can help pleae somone

    Hello

    Thank you for joining Microsoft Community!

    According to the description, it looks like you get the autorun.exe when installing a program on a disk.

    However, we need more information to help you better.

    Please help me answer this question.

    1. is the particular problem with a particular program?

    2. is the specific issue when installing a program on a particular CD?

    3. what program are you trying to install?

    4. What antivirus do you use?

    The probable cause for this error 'not a 32-bit application valid' can have several causes:

    I have listed some of them below.

    The file is corrupted, bad or missing.

    a. If the hard drive is damaged or badly it cause work programs to fail, either because not all data can be read from the hard drive the program is damaged on the drive. Run scandisk and defrag on the hard disk to check for potential errors.

    b. If you run the program from a shortcut on the computer, verify that the program is still on the computer. In some cases if the program is no longer installed on the computer, you can get this error.

    File is not designed for your version of Windows:

    a. If you try to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows, you can get this error.

    b. Although numerous older programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will not work.

    c. If the program is an MS-DOS program more former start program or Windows, you get this error.
    d. If the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you are running in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

    File is a virus, worm or other malicious program file.

    a. this error can be generated by a file that is a virus, worm, Trojan horse or other type of malware file. Often, this will result because the antivirus installed on the computer will not allow the file to install or run. Try to analyze the file to check, it is not a virus or infected.

    (b) if the file has been checked and is clean, it is always possible that the virus protection program or a another program installed on the computer is at the origin of questions during installation or execution of the program. Start the computer in Mode safe and try to run the program, start the computer in

    Safe mode will ensure that nothing is running in the background that could cause this problem.

    Hardware incompatibility.

    a. If you get this error during the installation of a program, it is also possible that the CD-ROM drive or the drive that you are installing the program from is not compatible with Windows or has drivers that are not compatible with Windows.

    b. download the latest drivers for your CD player or other of the manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of the equipment. (Microsoft does not pilot for other materials)

    Provide us with more information on the issue to provide a better solution.

    Hi Craig,.

    -Where you download Windows Installer from?

    Possible causes of this error are:

    -The file is corrupt, missing, or bad.

    -The file is not designed for your version of Windows.

    If the file or program you are trying to run is damaged or missing, Windows will be unable to run the file correctly and generates this error message. Re-download the file install the same.

    In addition, see the following articles to solve the problems of Windows Installer:

    On a side note, I recommend you upgrade to Service Pack 3 to continue to receive updates for Windows XP security.
