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 16-bit Windows 3.1 version to a 32-bit ANSI ntvdm error windows 7 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 Saturday, September 26, 2009 11:23 PM Friday, September 25, 2009 9:17 AM Reply | Quote Moderator A
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 ntvdm has encountered a system error windows 10 some time troubleshooting I remembered a similar issue from a few years ago where a DOS application ntvdm encountered an illegal instruction 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 ntvdm has encountered a system error a device attached to the system is not functioning 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 https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/aaede3d8-9372-4449-b20f-9adc05a9e6f7/ntvdm-encountered-a-hard-error?forum=winservergen 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 http://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2011/12/14/ntvdm-encountered-a-hard-error/ 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 wa
June 13, 2007 I ran across this one today when trying to run a 16-bit application on a Windows 2003 Server. I run the app http://www.expta.com/2007/06/ntvdm-encountered-hard-error.html 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 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 encountered a 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.
