win32 application error

[zanee]

hello

i am trying to get 'No one lives forever' running on my pc. i have a good machine except that my operating system is windows XP. when i try to run NOLF i get the error message "NOLF is not a valid win32 application"....is that because i am running XP??? if so, is there any way around this without having to reinstall another OS on my machine...

cheers

NOLF runs fine on my comp under XP Pro.. perhaps your installation has become corrupt. You could try reinstalling the game and see if that helps at all.

Heh.... that actually happens alot when you download a game that you do not own the CD to and attempt to use a no CD crack.

Cheers. =)

well you dont know that for a fact Guy! Its probably Corrupt as the moderator said (Þª®åФx) because that also happens when viruses get into your machine and corrupt Win32 applications! Dont worry, You probably dont have a virus cause they infect a lot of programs like that

just reinstall the game

Your right, it's not a fact that he is doing it, but it is very likely considering that if it was just a corrupted file, he of course would have tried reinstalling from the CD, also, he didn't respond to my post.... or any post for that matter.

It is a fact, however, that when you try to get around copy protection using poorly written cracks or patches you get that error 8 out of 10 times. Most of the time you can just get another patch or crack to get it going though.... not that I have ever tried that or anything... =)

zanee ,
do a virus -scan for ur pc using an antivirus software , coz u may have got a virus that interrupt win32 applications as Slam said ,

Second , try installing the same copy u got on another pc , and see what happens .

Third , this problem may probably occur when u apply the No-cd crack (( With incorrect game version )) , so if ur using that carck , ensure to use the one with ur game version..
hope this helps

The same thing is happening with me when I double click to open an image file.

"****.jpg/psp/bmp/etc. is not a valid win32 application" message appears. It seems I can only associate my images files to open with Windows Picture And Fax Viewer.

What gives??? I'm sick of it...
