[[re: Error ....is not a valid win32 application

I've heard from various sources that this problem is either:
A. Some esoteric problem with WFP (Windows File Protection). If so,
you could try going to a Command Prompt and typing:
sfc /scannow
B. A virus, in which case you should have a good anti- virus app on
hand and run a thorough scan on your system with it.
Either of these answers are suspect though, since I've not dealt
directly with anyone handling this issue.]]

Event ID 7000 and "%1 Is Not a Valid Win32 Application" Error
Message When You Start a Service

It would help to know which Service [[is not a valid win32
application]]
This will open the Event Viewer:
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | OK |
Look through Application & System logs to see if anything
relates to the error messages.
-----
To trace 'em down further.
In the right hand pane of the Event Viewer | Double click on the
Error | Click the button that looks like two sheets of paper |
Copies the details of the event to the Clipboard |
Open Notepad | Right click a blank area | Select paste | Save to your
Desktop
as whatever | Back in the Event Properties window | Scroll down in
the big window |
Click the blue hyperlink | Click Yes to Send | It may take a little
while, but | Help & Support will
open | Look through everything | Click on whatever looks useful.

There are two places on the web to track down errors, but you need
to know the Event ID & the Event Source.
