What is Error 193, what might have caused it, what can I do about fixing it? Give me your email address for source code, mine is Dave_Man_@hotmail.com. Thanks.

Error 193 means your hard drive has been infested with fleas. I suggest calling the Orkin Man.

Seriously tho, unless you give us some information, like what compiler you''re using, what you''re working on, where you''re getting this error (during compile? runtime?) and any other text that comes with the error, it''s going to be really hard for us to help you.

Um... I duno. We need more info. Is it a linker error? compiler error? what?

It would also help if we knew the type of compiler is (MSVC, Borland etc).

I'm using MVC++6 it's an error message here's what it says:

Could not excecute: Bad executable format(Win32 error 193).

I'm working on a object oriented text based DOS game it happened right when it linked.

1)Your compiled and linked image is not a valid win32 executable (i.e. control panel app / dll, or something in the startup code is failing before the process is even spawned.

2)Your "Executable for debug session" setting under Project->Settings->Debug is incorrect.

Good luck

Error 193 is not actually a compiler error. It''s a windows system error that means the you tried to load a bad executable image (not a EXE, COM, NE or PE). It sounds like one of your compiler''s binaries got corrupted some how. Try reinstalling the binaries for MSVC.
