O.P. Not a valid Win32 application
Hi, I used to have msg plus on my PC. I had to format the hard drive an re-install evertything now when I try to open msg plus after I download it, I get an error telling me it cant open the file because it's not a valid Win32 application.
OS: Windows XP with SP2

Anyone know how to solve this?

If you are using Internet Explorer click on Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files > And click ok.

Redownload Messenger Plus! saving the file to your desktop instead of running. If you are using a download manager you want to disable them as they may potentially corrupt the file.
