  • Error message " filename is not a valid Win32 application"

    I have StarOffice 8 update 11 on a PC running Windows XP. Every time I try to open any StarOffice file from my file manager, I get the error " <filename> is not a valid Win32 application." But I can open the file fine when I do it from within StarOffice, or straight from my email. I cannot figure out how to fix this so that I can launch a StarOffice file from my file manager. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Error 'RecoveryMgr.exe is not a valid Win32 application' when trying to restore in Win7

    I really hope someone can help as this is driving me mad!
    System details - G62 Notebook running Windows 7
    The notebook crashed after a Windows update and wouldn't boot up.  I made it into the recovery manager and back my files before restoring to factory settings. 
    Since getting back in I am unable to get my files back.  I have tried through the recovery manager but it does not allow me to see the files on the dvd.  I have also tried through backup and restore but no joy there either.  When I click on RecoverMgr.exe on the dvd I get error 'RecoveryMgr.exe is not a valid Win32 application' and it won't open.
    I hope someone has managed to solve this before as I would love my files back.  All suggestions greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

    Thanks Mumbodog.  Unfortunately I have tried and the files won't copy.  Starting to think they are corrupt!  Have tried on a few different PC's but no luck.  Really annoyed   Any other suggestions?

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • When trying to open documents, getting error as File is not a valid Win32 application

    Hi,
    I am trying to open a MPP by clicking on the name of the file. But I am getting the error as "path\filename.mpp is not a valid Wind32 application".
    I am able to save the document and open it in MPP, but clicking on the document name is giving this error "File is not a valid Win32 application".
    I have tried to repair "Microsoft Project". But still the same issue. I am using Office 2010. SharePoint site is SP 2010.
    How to fix this?
    Thanks

    Hi Ed,
    I am sorry, but I could not understand that answer.
    I have put that answer in the below quotes:
    "You are never going to believe what I did. This is a nice ending to a very confusing situation. lol
    I uninstalled Project 2007 and rebooted my laptop and reinstalled Project 2007. No Difference at all. Same thing happened. I just couldn't stop thinking about how 2007 Microsoft Office Component kept showing up in default programs. This has bugged me for days.
    I went browsing in my program files. I typed in Microsoft Office Project. The only thing I found was WINPROJ. I decided to check it out. I checked it's properties, size, location, etc.. What did I have to lose at this point? I clicked on it and it went into
    my default programs as Microsoft Office Project 2007. This doesn't make any sense to me. But, don't try to fix anything else if it isn't broken, right? It's working and I am so relieved. I mean, YAAAAY!!! Another mystery solved...
    Thanks for hanging in there with me to help solve this mystery. You have been of great assistance to me. You made me think outside the box and it worked.
    Laura"
    Does it mean MPP Should be a 2007 version?
    Thanks

  • Loading itunes on computer that is does not have interenet access. have itunes setup on jump drive.  tried to run on computer and get the following error - "itunes64setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application"

    "itunes64setup.exe is not a valid WIN32 application"

    That suggests the installer got damaged when being downloaded to the computer that did have internet access.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser (on the computer with internet access):
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Error message claims iPod not formatted for windows, when it is. HELP!!

    I've had a 4th generation iPod for a couple of years now, and yes this same crappy computer as well. Now all of a sudden, my computer doesn't recognize the iPod as my own. It will show up as hardware, and in my computer just says generically Apple Ipod USB device, not what I had name my ipod originally. If I try to open it up to look at the files that way, which I've done before many times, storing files on it, now it just brings up this message
    "Your Ipod needs to be reformatted for use with Windows. Click update to run the ipod updater to restore your ipod."
    Well, I'm not doing that, because I have files and music on there. From my ipod itself, when I select "About" from the click-wheel, it shows my ipod perfectly fine- with the name I gave it, having the amount of space used that it should, and shows it formatted for windows. All the music is still there- it works in my car. But I can't get to the files now, or add more music because somehow windows doesn't recognize it.
    This started after I updated itunes from 6.05 to 7.02. So then I uninstalled 7 and reinstalled 6. It still doesn't work. I even tried to restore my computer to before I installed itunes 7, in case it's registry keys or something, but it won't even let me do that restore- it's unable to. The iPod software that's been installed is still in my system, unchanged.
    So what can I do? Anyone know? Please help, because I'm at a loss and really, really upset.
    thanks.

    Are you connecting the iPod directly to the computer or through an usb hub .. if you are connecting through an usb hub .. try connecting the iPod directly.
    Is the computer connected to a network or is it a stand alone ... if it is connected to a network try following the below article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
    Try using the iPod reset utility from a different port if that doesn't work try from a different computer.
    If nothing helps, please take the iPod to the nearest Apple Store and they will let you know the further course.

    To troubleshoot, we tried running the x86 version of scanstate.exe (from USMT from the Windows 8.1 ADK) manually by just double clicking on it on a few Windows XP SP3 systems and we get a similar error as seen below...
    So, we thought maybe USMT from our Windows 8.1 ADK install maybe somehow corrupt, but downloading and installing it again results in the same error, so it does not seem to be a file corruption issue.   The x64 version of scanstate.exe works
    fine on 64-bit OS's, its just Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) we are seeing this error.
    Has anyone successfully using scanstate.exe from USMT 5.0 from the Windows 8.1 ADK successfully to capture user state from a Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) system?
    Regards,
    JJ

    Windows 8.1 ADK comes with a newer version of USMT (NOT 5.0) and crashes. I learned this today the hard way. I hope Windows 8.0 ADK's loadstate.exe works for restoring to a 8.1 machine.
    Yesterday i used Windows Easy Transfer to move from XP to 7, and then re-did the backup in 7 so it would be compatible with 8.1, and it only restores files, not settings.
    So i will test USMT 5.0 in this same scenario, because i have 30 machines to change to newer machines with 8.1
