wowexec error during install

Hi Pat,

Wowexec is part of the 16 bit subsystem designed for Windows 3.x
You shouldn't be seeing that error message for games designed for XP.

Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards
Download & Run Spybot from: http://security.kolla.de to find any
Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system.

How To Repair Windows:
Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:

Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates from: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

| Some, but not all, of the games I try to install get a
| WOWEXEC error when I run setup. It barely starts and
| hits this error almost immediately. I've put the latest
| XP updates on and it didn't help. The games are meant
| for XP so it's not an incompatibility issue. Friends
| with XP don't get this error so I know it's something in
| the OS that's corrupt, but what???
|
| Does anyone have an ideas on how to correct this? Thanks.
