Keep getting messagebox title 'Application Error' with text 'WOWEXEC caused a General Protection Fault in module KRNL386.EXE at 0001:8D7A. Choose Close. WOWEXEC will close.'

Assume this is somehow to do with my setup, but at a loss to explain it.

File opens OK in WinZip, and Test gives no errors. Single warning was...

warning [D:/Documents and Settings/sh/My Documents/Shared/Programming/python20.exe]: extra 159 bytes at beginning or within Zip file (attempting to process anyway)

Assume this is just because it's a self-extracting file.

Source forge new account thing seems broken, but my email is sh@ttsoftware.co.uk

Was an ftp download error according to personal mail. The file was too big, so probably CRLF translation problem.
