i've tried to install the free realplayer, but i've got a similar problem to
that in a previous post of someone's, which i've copied here below. the
downloaded exe file won't run because i'ts apparently not a valid win 32
app.
should i use a similar remedy?
in my case, i've just successfuly downloaded copernic's desktop search and
am partway thru the install and so far the OS hasn't objected. the problem
seems to lie only with realplayer. i've been reluctant to disable the
autoprotect on norton because i know how fast it's possible to become
infected, but norton doesn't seem to have mangled the copernic exe at all.

Hi Ramesh,
Thank you again for your help - I appreciate your time. I did try your
suggestions [used internet explorer default- still get same error message]
and went to suggested help site [http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache]I
had done all of these things previously but you never know, so i tried them
again. I also downloaded and tried the cc cleaner. The cc cleaner
downloaded
fine - so i tried downloading winzip 9 - and still received not a valid
win32
app. I am confused as to which TIF it is talking about - When I search for
TIF folders i have 5 different TIF'S. Our family uses only one username in
windows xp. Do i need to make a new username? I guess i am not understanding
the following:
Completely Deleting the Temporary Internet Files and index.dat
[XP\2K] (WinME\98 users see below)
Log on as Administrator and delete the desired <username> folder(s) and
reboot.
(or log on as another user that has Administrator privileges)
Hint: You can also press "Ctrl-Alt-Del" twice at the Welcome screen to bring
up the Administrator account or download: "AddAdministrator.reg" to add the
Administrator to the Welcome screen.
To use: right-click and select: "Save Target As", locate the reg file and
right-click and select: Merge Ok the prompt and reboot. [more info]
