    I downloaded warcraft3.exe off Kazza. I can see the file, but instead of having an icon of the game ( like all my other games do) it has a windows icon (looks like a mini IE window) When I click it, it says not a valid win32 application.

    Ideas?

    That error message from a Download usually indicates File corruption. You more than likely had a bad Download. Be careful what you download and the source. Viruses and Spyware are likely to be found in this type of Download too.

    Mosaic's correct, that error is usually associated with a corrupted download and do be careful what you choose to download.
