Unfortunately, "Invalid Data" means that the zMUD executable is corrupted. This mostly happens because of a virus. Try updating your antivirus definition files and scanning your computer. You will also need to reinstall zMUD.

I was afraid youd say that..I seem to have this virus that i 'thought' i cleaned..links into the vxd layer so if i install anything..it infects as i install..so i somehow have to disinfect from DOS...and i have no virus scanner for dos. .I know this isnt the place..but does a reformat sound in order??? Thanks again for all the quick help..

Try first looking into the documentation of your antivirus for this. I know of some that let you create boot disks with the program and virus definitions so that you can boot into DOS and clean the virus from there.
You can find what version of zMUD (and most any program) you are using by right-clicking on the exe file of the program and going into the Version tab. Also, I believe that version number you found in zmud.ini is the number of the latest version (beta or not) available so zMUD knows if you have the latest version of not.
