Ntvdm Encountered A Hard Error Citrix
message:"NTVDM has encountered a hard error and will shut down"NTVDM is being used to run a program to send display information over a serial connection to display devices.I have ntvdm encountered a hard error windows 10 applied the 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 ntvdm encountered an illegal instruction structure from the 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 Ma

Ntvdm Has Encountered A System Error A Device Attached To The System Is Not Functioning
to install some software that ships with a 16bit installer (SQL2000, Exchange, etc), trying to run command.com, or at a command prompt and tried running edit.exe and this not-so-descriptive message https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/aaede3d8-9372-4449-b20f-9adc05a9e6f7/ntvdm-encountered-a-hard-error?forum=winservergen pops up. What now? You checked the event logs and nothing. What have you done to cause this? In my case I had imported a baseline security template from Microsoft...I spent a good 2 hours trying to figure out the root cause. I went through the security configuration, all local gp settings, and finally broke out filemon.exe. After a short trace http://www.alexwho.com/blog/2006/02/ntvdmexe-has-encountered-a-hard-error.html and investigating the logs I found the culprit of my problem...NTVDM.EXE was trying to read/write to a file in my %temp% environment variable (which it had wrong).Some background; the security template above makes a change to the registry disabling 8.3 filenames. This template was imported after the Administrator account was created, which explains why the admin account did not see the same problems my account did. Since my account was made after 8.3 filenames had been disabled %temp% for me equaled a path containing a space "...\Local Settings\...", this was "\Local~1\" for the local administrator account. As with all my other issues, and trust me there are plenty, below are some things to look for and some fixes for the issue above, some are directly from MS, link to the articles below.1. Check the following registry value:Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystemName: NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreationValue: 0 or 1 (0 disabled - default)Link to Microsoft2. Check Config.NT and Autoexec.NT in the %windir%\system32 directory for non-standard settings. You can REM out everything but what is listed below (or just expand the files from the Windows 2003 disk):Config.nt-----
