Not a valid win32 application

Jubbahey
If you are having problems with XP when installing a game or any software from a CD or DVD and get the error message (filename) not a valid win32 application, then the 1st thing to do is check the CD/DVD drive and disc is clean.

I am attempting to play NHL Open Ice 2 on 2 Challenge via DOSBox. The game is Windows 95 compatible. Are PC games designed for Windows 95 compatible with DOSBox? When I input the command to run said game, I encounter the error: This program cannot run in DOS mode.

Might and Magic VI MUSIC problem

Sir Tenable
I understand that given the number of other posts on here about Might and Magic VI, if you can't get it running, there must be something seriously wrong with your computer. I have gotten the game to work when I originally got the shrinker error problem.

Quicktime faded with questionmark

ToRnHeArTeD
Why do I get a faded quicktime sign with a question mark in the middle of it, when I try to look at certain quicktime streaming files. Sometimes it works, sometimes I get that sign. It doesn't appear to be to do with the flash player problem, which people mentioned.
