> You should concider to install WinXP again. 

With all due respect, that advice may be the only solution,
but in general, re-installing the OS (of all software!) is
the very *last* thing you should attempt.

Coming from the UNIX/Mac world, I find it almost amusing
how people go for re-installing software on Windows as soon
as a problem occurs. Especially from the viewpoint of learning
your software and computer system, the best way is to try to
trouble-shoot and isolate problems. *If* nothing else works,
or if you're on a deadline, re-installing may be the only way.

In the case discussed, perhaps the downloaded file was corrupt.
Perhaps the file privileges are wrong. Perhaps the disk or the
TEMP area is full. Perhaps there's some service, program or
virus running that interferes with the EXE file in question.

Try cleaning out temporary or old files from your disk, empty
the recycle bin, defragment the disk, reboot the computer,
and close all other programs and start-up utilities. Scan your
entire disk for viruses and then temporary turn off things
like automatic virus scanners.
