Help won't start!
   

I am not very good with computers so if you want me to find something you have to be a little specific were i can find it. My good comp is being fixed so i got this one out. I tryed the demo to see if it could run Gothic 2 and it worked fine. But i downloaded it and when i try to click on my desktop shortcut if says

C:\Program Files\atari\jowood\Gothic2\system\gothic2.exe is not a valid win 32 application.

Also I try to get it to run off the CD but there is no Play Gothic 2 on the auto run screen just readme and nothing else.

Can someone help the demo played fine so i thought the real game would play as well. HELP

Welcome to the forums!

Did you uninstall the demo before you installed the full version?

It could be the problem. Generally speaking itīs a good idea to kill the demo before you install the corresponding full game.

Ok well i found the folder and deleted it but it still won't run

But at least now the Play gothic 2 has showed up in the auto-run but when i try it in the auto-run it says this

Could not execute C:\Program. The .exe format is invalid

what does that mean?

It also still says that it isn't a valid win32 thing when i try to start it from the shortcut and the .exe in the directory folder

I would suggest you uninstall, remove the folder and reinstall.
