Process Tamer Setup says not a Win32 program

[scrutin]

I can't install Process Tamer as it says it is not a Win32 program.  I have Windows XP SP2 running on a Dell 8200.  The Clip and Spell program runs just fine on my computer. Any suggestions?

This is a known problem, it is originated by internet explorer.

Thanks for such a prompt and absolutely accurate response.  I downloaded Process Tamer with Firefox and now it works perfectly.  This answer also solves another mystery I encountered some time ago.  I was trying upgrade a previous version of Omnipage, but the upgrade just would not work.  Omnipage insisted that the upgrade be downloaed by Internet Explorer which now I believe just did not fully download the upgrade.  Of course the upgrade became unnecessary with the latest version of Omnipage, but I hope that other programs will not limit their downloads to Internet Explorer.  Incidentally, changing the default browser to Firefox did not help; Omnipage upgrade would only come up in Internet Explorer.

Yeah, we're not exacly sure why this happens, but apparently it only happens with ie (which get us to blame them ).

With omnipage, you couldn't copy the address and paste it in firefox?

Yeah, i think windows update also can only run in ie, it's sad when people do that, specially because it doesn't allow me to use my beloved opera
