    Hi,
    Has anyone any suggestions as to how I can download the program "Itunes" successfully?
    I am on slow dial-up and have to leave my computer on all night to get the download. Then, I always get the error message that this is not a valid win32 program......etc.
    I first get rid of temp Internet files, etc., running CCleaner. After it downloads I run Malwarebytes just to make sure things are ok. But...always get that error.. Itunes is not a valid win32 program.
    I am running WinXP - Internet Explorer.
    I have also deleted all traces of a previous Itunes program I once had on here. (now I wish I hadn't) I am trying to download a newer version.
    Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks mucho!
    :)

    Hi

    Yes, likely you are loosing connection at a stage in the download or due to using DialUp the connection is loosing data packets, but one way I used to get around this with large files is to use a download manger app, what they do is to periodically save the file at a point that if you loose connecting they restart where they left off.

    This one Download Express is fairly small download itself in <1mb but is more feature rich than some that are slightly smaller in size.
