hot fix but the error is still happening.Are there any other things I can try?PS: The screen resolution on the monitor changes to 8-bit when the error occurs. Thursday, September 24, 2009 4:58 PM Reply | Quote Answers 2 Sign in to vote Hi, This problem occurs because the Wow32.dll module does not convert the DEVMODE data structure from the ntvdm encountered an illegal instruction 16-bit Windows 3.1 version to a 32-bit ANSI version. Therefore, the Ntvdm.exe process uses the wrong DEVMODE buffer size to transfer data to the printer spooler service. There are a couple of things to check: 1) The version of WOW32.DLL. The version on the machine should be at least the one from KB937932: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937932/en-us 2) Is COMMAND.COM launching when the 16-bit program is invoked? If not, that should be investigated. Possible steps to resolve a COMMAND.COM issue are below: - back up the files listed below before running the following commands: expand D:\i386\config.nt_ %systemroot%\system32\config.nt expand D:\i386\autoexec.nt_ %systemroot%\system32\autoexec.nt expand D:\i386\command.co_ %systemroot%\system32\command.com - check the following registry values to ensure that there are no file name issues HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\Win95TruncatedExtensions value (should be 1) - check the TMP and TEMP values in the User variables. Set the value to C:\TEMP Best Regards, Vincent Hu Proposed as answer by Devaraju K Friday, September 25, 2009 12:41 PM Unproposed as answer by rb9999 Saturday, September 26, 2009 3:20 PM Marked as answer by rb9999 Saturda
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 ntvdm error windows 7 message: "NTVM encountered a hard error.":After spending some time troubleshooting I remembered a similar issue ntvdm has encountered a system error windows 10 from a few years ago where a DOS application worked fine from the Console but refused to work from an RDP or ntvdm has encountered a system error a device attached to the system is not functioning 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 https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/aaede3d8-9372-4449-b20f-9adc05a9e6f7/ntvdm-encountered-a-hard-error?forum=winservergen 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 http://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2011/12/14/ntvdm-encountered-a-hard-error/ 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.

June 13, 2007 I ran across this one today when trying to run a 16-bit application http://www.expta.com/2007/06/ntvdm-encountered-hard-error.html on a Windows 2003 Server. I run the app and it pops up a Windows dialog box saying, "System Error : NTVDM encountered a hard error."Turns out that the environment path for "TEMP" and "TMP" is invalid. Normally these paths resolve to their 8.3 pathname, so an enviromental variable set to %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp will encountered a resolve to C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp. On my problem server the path resolves to C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\Local Settings\Temp, note the space in Local Settings. This mix of long filenames and 8.3 names is invalid.To resolve the issue, I changed the user TEMP and TMP variables to use C:\TEMP.
