I have recently installed Windows Vista Home Premium with SP1 on my laptop (Dell Latitude D520) , since a few days , whenever i try to run any exe i get an error saying XXX is not a valid Win32 application . Since this was not a clean install (had a virus infected Xp , installed on top of it) is it possible its some virus ? Or some other solution .

Note : Some exe's do run , Firefox 3.5.2 setup ran , Picasa 3 setup didnt

If you didn't reformat and installed over the infected OS, it is very possible that you are still infected
