[newbie] Binary Applications

2000-03-07 Thread Charles Sharp 

I've been having trouble getting some applications to run on my machine.

I downloaded some apps in compiled binary form already and everytime I
go to run them it says "cannot execute binary program".  How can I make
it so these applications will run?  One of them was a mud client,
another was the game Doom that I downloaded from www.download.com.  I'm
running Mandrake 7.0.2 (AIR).  Thanks in advance.

 give us some specs from the card and we should beable to say hay or nay
 on the use of the card. if it is a PnP card, see if you can turn the PnP
 ability off and assign it a irq like 9 or 10

  I don't know what the chipset is, is there a way to tell?  It came in a
Compaq 5724.
