Ntvdm Encountered An Illegal Instruction
to run a program to send display information over a serial connection to display devices.I have 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 ntvdm encountered a hard error citrix 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 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)
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 ntvdm has encountered a system error windows 10 issue from a few years ago where a DOS application worked fine from the Console but refused to work from an RDP ntvdm has encountered a system error a device attached to the system is not functioning 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 https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/aaede3d8-9372-4449-b20f-9adc05a9e6f7/ntvdm-encountered-a-hard-error?forum=winservergen 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 http://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2011/12/14/ntvdm-encountered-a-hard-error/ 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.

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 and http://www.expta.com/2007/06/ntvdm-encountered-hard-error.html 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 http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1143834 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 Local Settings. This encountered a 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.

NTVDM.EXE error? ADB100 (TechnicalUser) (OP) 28 Oct 05 11:56 I have three 2003 Servers.One of these servers refuses to run any 16Bit applications at all; even trying to run 'command.com' fails.If I click Start, Run and type 'command" and press return I get a dialogue box titled 'ntvdm.exe - System Error', in the box it saysQuote:NTVDM encountered a hard errorThere are Close and Ignore buttons to click.If I choose either close or ignore nothing happens apart from the box going.The server in question is running 2003 Standard and is a Dell 3Ghz P4 with HT, the other 2 Servers are HP/Compaq P3 servers, one is a Dual P3 933Mhz, the other a single P3 800Mhz.Command.com works on both the other servers?Any ideas?Andy RE: NTVDM.EXE error? ADB100 (TechnicalUser) (OP) 29 Oct 05 07:26 After a bit of searching and comparing a working server to the one with the problem I worked it out.The problem server was missing the 'AUTOEXEC.NT' file from the system32 folder.I copied it from the other server and it now works.....Andy RE: NTVDM.EXE error? ITfromZX81 (Programmer) 1 Nov 05 10:09 Hi ADB100I have a similar issue.When running a 16-bit Windows program on Windows 2003 server users sometimes get the "NTVDM encountered a hard error." message.I have looked at the AUTOEXEC.NT and CONFIG.NT as it seems these are the problem areas but I can't find a pattern.I do know that when I renamed AUTOEXEC.NT just to see what happened the programs wouldn't start at all and just gave the hard error message.What does your AUTOEXEC.NT have
