With that said, this particular file is not unknown to hackers, as it is quite frequently targeted by encountered a such people, however, despite that reality, whenever people encounter problems with this specific file, it’s usually due to system issues such as program conflicts, the installation of certain system updates and data corruption. Thus, these are the kinds of things you should be mindful of, when tackling any computer issue related to this particular file. Symptoms of Ntvdm.exe Errors As this file is utilised whenever a user attempts to use a 16-bit application, it’s not uncommon for ntvdm encountered a hackers to create viruses that disguise themselves as this particular file. Typically what these unscrupulous people will do is create a virus, and give it a filename that is very similar to the file they are trying to disguise it as, but the biggest indication that the file is illegitimate is in the location, as it will usually be stored a location other than the official location for this particular file (Ntvdm.exe): %SystemRoot%\System32 Adding digits at the end of the file name or changing a single letter are the most effective tactics deployed by these people. Through this method they are able to disguise a number of very malicious programs. The most commonly disguised virus types are as follows: W32/Tilebot-JX (%SystemRoot%) This is your common backdoor Trojan viruses that gets onto your computer and multiplies. This particular virus exploits a number of vulnerabilities in your Operating System, such as network shares, weak passwords and MSSQL servers in order to find its way onto your system. W32/Sdbot-DFQ (%SystemRoot%) This is another backdoor Trojan viruses; the primary function of this viruses is to allow hacker to gain access to your computer, remotely. At any given time, you could have a number of what appears to be Ntvdm.exe files running as process on your computer. The presence of multiple instances of the same file/process is a strong indication of foul play, thoug
Today I troubleshooted an old DOS application that needed to run on a 32 bit Citrix XenApp Server. The last time I saw an actual DOS application in a production environment must be years ago.When starting the application, the WOW subsystem (NTVDM) crashed with the message: "NTVM encountered a hard error.":After spending some time troubleshooting I remembered a similar issue from a few years ago where a DOS application worked fine from the Console but refused to work from an RDP or ICA session.And indeed the application works perfectly when run from the Console but not from a Console session. I noticed that the application switched to full screen mode after it was launched (even when I set it to Windowed mode) and presumably this is why ntvdm errors: full-screen mode is disallowed for DOS apps in RDP (and ICA) sessions as documented in Q192190.I looked for a way to force the application to run in windowed mode but I was unable to find such a solution. So I decided to test the application in DOSBox, an x86 PC emulator.And that worked perfectly, no changes were needed at all to make the application run.As an added bonus, DOSBox takes care of typical issues with DOS applications running on Citrix XenApp such as keyboard polling and 100% cpu usage.I was even more impressed that the application runs fine with DOSBox on my Windows 7 64 bit machine!There is one thing I didn't like though, DOSBox always shows a Splashscreen that fades in and out:This is typically something that is not desirable on a XenApp (or RDS) environment because it causes many unnecessary screen updates. This may be a non issue on a fast LAN but on a slower WAN or high latency connection it may matter. Do how do we get rid of it?There is no commandline argument or config setting that disables the splash so I figured that my only option would be to compile the DOSBox source and leave out the splash screen.So I downloaded the source files from the sourceforge project page and launched Visual Studio 2010.The Splashscreen is in sdlmain.cpp but I noticed this comment:C++ /* Please leave the Splash screen stuff in working order in DOSBox. We spend a lot of time making DOSBox. */12/* Please leave the Splash screen stuff in working order in DOSBox. We spend a lot of time making DOSBox. */This presented me with a dilemma: I really think the creators deserve their credit but at the same time I want to get rid of the splash.So I decided to change the code in a way that the Splash screen is shown when run from the Console but not when run from an RDP or ICA session. This change was very easy, I surrounded the Splash screen code with a conditional
