Cannot install if .exe
I get this error everytime I try to install new software. But this only happens when the install program is .exe I have tried WinZip.exe and it does not work. I have Windows 98, I did a format and it still doesnt work.

Hi Maxx2140,
Check the value of the next registry key.
Or put the following in a new .reg file and double click
this .reg icon. It may be a virus wich has replaced
the value in the registry.

I ran Norton and it was a virus.So everyhing is ok now thanks
So I am puzzled as to why you gave me a C grade since the problem was a virus and that was what I suspected...
