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 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\autoexe

account only takes a few minutes. Join Now I am running Spiceworks version 5.0.62863 on a Windows 2003 Server, and have never had any problems.  Today I got a message in Spiceworks that I will need to upgrade to the latest version within the next 60 days.  So when I run the upgrade, it downloads and then I get the error, "NTVDM encountered a hard error" and I can close or ignore, neither of which does anything, it just sits there and the screen behind it says if the installer doesn't load in a few minutes to restart.  I did restart it a couple of times but got the same results.  So anyone help me out with this?  The server in question is fully updated and patched as of last week.   (Edit Version #) :) Reply Subscribe RELATED TOPICS: Upgrading spiceworks Upgrading Spiceworks from 7.4 Problem Upgrading Spiceworks   This topic was created during version 5.1. The latest version is 7.5.00093. 5 Replies Tabasco OP Kris7191 Jul 7, 2011 at 1:39 UTC I am wondering if this might occur if someone had the client open on their computer while I was trying to update? 0 Mace OP Jay6111 Jul 7, 2011 at 1:44 UTC Did you shut down SW before trying to install? Open task manager and make sure it isn't running, open the services.msc and stop the "SpiceWorks" service, then try again.     -Jay 0 Tabasco OP Kris7191 Jul 7, 2011 at 1:52 UTC OK, tried that, turned off the service, ran the update, same problem. 0 Mace OP Jay6111 Jul 7, 2011 at 1:58 UTC I don't think that's a SW error, that is a Windows error. Sounds like something is messed up on the server side. I did a quick search and found a few things, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winservergen/thread/aaede3d8-9372-4449-b20f-9adc05a9e6f7

  -Jay 0 Ghost Chili OP TimJ42 Jul 7, 2011 at 4:06 UTC Have you tried downloading the Spiceworks install file direct from the website?  Looks like it has helped in this similar thread: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/96034-spiceworks-won-t-update. ; Make sure to get a good back up before running the update.

There have also been a lot of changes between 4.x and 5.1, including the adding of database consistency checks starting in version 5.0.  If you get any errors about database corruption, you should contact Spiceworks
