I am trying to istall AdAware 2007 on my daughter's new laptop which is Windows Vista. She has it on her desktop computer (Windows XP) and there was no problem installing it. The problem is that when I click to install it, a box appears that says "aaw 2007 exe. is not a valid Win32 application". Does this mean, she can not use this program?
Thanks for any help you can give me

Make sure you have the latest version of AdAware 2007. Only versions 7.0.2.1 and onwards are Vista compatible.
