Which tools in particular? Please provide more details to help us help you.
The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things
worked and the time they didn't?
The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?
Be sure the computer is clean:

Usually this happens if someone edited the data of PE section in exe file,
but did not updated the appropriated section sizes and RVAs. So it could be
a buggy virus or tool.

Posted this link:-
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-20,GGLD:en&q=not+a+valid+win32+application
I copied and pasted it into my browser (AOL) and I arrived at "not a valid
win32 application" results (375,000 items)
I then typed "not a valid win32 application" into Google and ended up here:-
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2005-20%2CGGLD%3Aen&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=not+a+valid+win32+application&btnG=Search
I seem to have ended up with exactly the same 375,000 items!
I'm always interested in when I find the 'unusal' happening on my PC. I'd
much appreciate ideas on why these different links take me to the same
place.
Thank you.
Dave
