my computer downloads very slow because we have dial-up. i've been trying to download iTunes for hours and finally when i get it to download, this pops up when i click on iTunesSetup: C:\Documents and Settings/rwy/My Documents/iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? DOES THIS MEAN ITUNES ISNT CAPABLE OF RUNNING ON MY COMPUTER? MY COMPUTER ISNT OLD I DONT THINK. ITS A BLACK FLAT SCREEN DELL COMPUTER, BUT WHATS WRONG? IS IT ITUNES OR MY COMPUTER? CAN SOMEHOW I GET TO ITUNES OR DO I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING OR I JUST WONT HAVE ITUNES? PLEASE HELP! THIS IS STRESSING ME OUT BIG TIME.

Hi there,
I got two thing, but they are not pleasant.
1. You probably have a corrupted download. You have to do it again. Dial-up, ouch! I would goto your nearest library, bring a thumb drive, and then download it and bring it home. You can pick up a 256 MB thumb drive for about $10 from any store.
2. Sometimes windows installer gets corrupted and will not install win32 applications. In that case, you may need to do a windows update. OUCH again.
You really should, need to upgrade to broadband. If you are out, way out in the country and do not have cable or DSL, try http://www.wildblue.com
Good luck,
Tom

Working with a slow computer can be time consuming as programs/ applications take a long time to start. This problem is more pronounced in computers which have been used for 6 or more months. More information at http://fixit.in/slowcomputer.html

dell computers are very good. your problem is that you need med-speed or high speed. I have high speed , my sister dailup because the wires and proper equipment do not go to her house.
she lives in the country. she was very surprised to see that ,what took her 1/12 to download, she downloaded it in a few second from a high-speed modem ,which is supplied by your supplier. or call 1 800 847-4096 , also www.dell.ca, goodluck

Sounds to me like maybe the download got corrupted. If you know someone with broadband, beg them to download it for you and burn it to a cd. Or you can try to download it again, if you have time.. lol

you can make your dial up faster right now you are and 52.00 kb\s ok now if you disconnect and go to phone and modem then click on properties then click on advanced the in the box you type just like this AT&FX and then dial up again and you will be a 115.00kb\sand you will have a faster dial up\\ its not the asnwer for your question but at least you have a faster connection and downloads will be faster

If you download something in the internet make sure that your computer will be compatible.

there are two possibilities here. first is that you dont have windows xp second is that u are not downloading the rie version of the program of it is corrupt (very unlikely).
