Re: IEXPLORE.EXE is not a valid Win32 application



Hi again.....
Repaired SP1 database, uninstalled SP2 and its repository files, upgraded to
SP2 again - still no luck!!
Furthermore I discovered that HyperTerminal and WordPad returns the same
error.
Has anyone else ever had the same problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

BR,
(Unhappy) Rob
