strange winxp prof is 32-bit OS which should and must run Win32 application.

The problem might be some virus displaying strange error messages

Hi
The problem may be with the copy of the SW what u haver...Try installing from the same copy in some one else machine and also try to install the application from a different copy....

And did u remove the contents of the relevant folders, while uninstalling and did u format the drive that had the Application installed.... Sometimes certain files that are present in the non deleted folders can cause the probs...
