Hey,

For some odd reason, clicking on my gw (from shortcut and from c drive) now tells me its not a valid Win32 program, and i dont feel up to reinstalling and waiting for the long load wait from -image so i was hoping you guys would know some secret way of fixing this.


Thanks in advance

If you dn't want the long hall from running -image again, move your .dat file out the way. Uninstall and re-install gw, and copy the saved .dat file back into the GW folder. That'll change your gw.exe file, and you won't lose content

(remember to save your templates as well)
