I'm having a very weird scenario happen on my game table, the daphneloader executable will only function the first time i install and run it, once closed and reopened... i get a windows dialog that says:

c:\emulation\daphne\daphneloader.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

has anyone experienced this before?

i can overwrite all the existing files with the ones from the original zip i got from the website here, including the daphneloader.exe and run it and it will again. by doing this, i can essentially flush out whatever problem the loader executable is having, but once the application is closed and reopened, the same error will occur.

Occasionly i'll get 2 or 3 uses out of it before i get this error, but most frequently, it happens on the first restart.

I've also tried to not let it download the latest version, but this doesn't seem to help either... nor do the OCX files provided on the site.

I would try doing a complete new install into another directory and see if that works. I actually have seen this error before with other applications and I traced it to a virus. So hopefully that's not the case with you. But if all else fails, it wouldn't hurt to a) close any other programs in the background that MIGHT be conflicting, then b) run a virus scan.

Yep, sounds like a virus to me.
