I have an AMD Athlon xp 2500+ running WinXP Home and I burned a cd from another computer running WinXP Pro (just some progs and stuff). When I pop the cd in the drive, the files dont display properly and when I execute them, I get an error: Not a valid win32 application. I also changed compatability settings, but to no avail. So, I popped the cd in the cpu sitting right next to me, a compaq evo n800c running win2k sp4, and the cd runs fine. Then, I copied the files across the network and lo and behold they work fine on the AMD.

What is going on here? Do I have a bad cdrom drive? I have already reinstalled drivers and there is no virus(worm) on this computer.

Please help
