error 193 %1 not a valid Win32 application

[Guest]

I get this when I try to start services that once started automatically,
example is Back Up Exec's SQL service and Dells array management. I've made
no changes on the server and this started after a reboot. So far I've only
found information stating I may have to make registry changes to correct
however I'm suspecious of this since there have been no recent registry
changes.

The article showed me the problem, I couldn't find the cause. I did stumble
on it when I logged in as a user instead administrator and got a pop-up
stating there was a naming conflict with 'program' and the file would be
renamed 'program1'. Then I found a file named 'program1' on the root of the
'C' drive dated 8/9 with no file extension and 0k in size. I don't know how
it got there but all was better with the file renamed and finally deleted. I
don't understand why loggin in as administrator didn't give me that message.
