That is a sign of a damaged or incomplete download.
Delete it and download it again directly from this link, with your
anti-virus momentarily disabled...it may be interfering with the
download.... and save it to the Desktop or My Documents. On-Demand-scan
it with your AV to make sure it is clean, then run SIW while the AV is
disabled.
http://www.gtopala.com/download/siw.exe
It is 1.5MB in size.

Does the newsgroup prohibit attachments? I sent a message with the screen
shots of the memory and the temperature but it has not appeared here yet.
