had a problem installing some games/programs on my daughter's laptop over the weekend. Although two programs installed without any problem, 2 others failed with the following error message: 16 bit Windows subsystem SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers. VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is invalid. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application A search of Microsoft's KnowledgeBase identified an article - 254914 - as follows: SYMPTOMS After you install some programs, one of the following error messages may appear when you attempt to run 16-bit programs: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem drive:\program path XXXX. An installable Virtual Device Driver failed DLL initialization. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. -or- 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem drive:\program path SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers. VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is invalid. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. In some cases, clicking Ignore allows the program to run properly, but the error message continues to be displayed when you start 16-bit programs. CAUSE This behavior can occur if the following registry value has become corrupted: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Virtual DeviceDrivers\VDD This issue may occur after you install a 16-bit program, or a program that uses a 16-bit installation program, that is not Windows 2000 compliant. RESOLUTION WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. 1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). 2. Locate and click the following value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Virtual DeviceDrivers\VDD 3. On the Edit menu, click Delete. 4. On the Edit menu, click Add Value. 5. Type VDD in the Value Name box, click REG_MULTI_SZ for the Data Type, and then click OK. 6. The Multi-String editor appears. Leave this entry blank and click OK. 7. Quit Registry Editor. If the above steps do not work, or if you are unable to create the VDD key, it may be necessary to also delete and recreate the whole VirtualDeviceDrivers registry key. _________________
