In windows you can run only 32-bit programs.

16-bit programs can be run from dos.

If the program you are trying to run is 32-bit then it might be possible that is corrupted. (Mistakes caused during burning multi-session cds too can cause problems)

Can you give url of that file ?

The most likely problem is a corrupt exe header/structure. Try redownloading, hopefully, from a different site. Or change your download manager.

The next likely problem is registry. Clean up your registry and try again.

The other possiblities are that you have a virus (only if all the exes refuse to start) or the exe is for a 64bit system.

IIRC, there was a thread in the tutorials section on how to download only the corrupt portion of the downloaded file. But for that you need to have downloaded the file via a download manager with support for multiple download threads.
