Hi there when trying to run a program that i have saved to my computer from
the following link
http://www.companionlink.com/files/royal/Extreme4b/CL_Extreme4b.exe

I then try opening it and get the error msg WinExec failed: returned= 193

Also while trying to type this post. if i started typing to fast. Suddenly
my screens stops and the little windows xp box comes up and in it is says
preparing to stand by, my screen goes blank as if it is refreshing it self or
something then comes back on. And far as i can tell it happens with any
key,

Hi,

Usually that is due to a corrupt download, you may want to try deleting it
and downloading again. You may also find the steps outlined here useful:
