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 some time troubleshooting I remembered a similar issue from a few years ago where a DOS application 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 Console but not from a Console https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/937932 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 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 http://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2011/12/14/ntvdm-encountered-a-hard-error/ 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 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 sdlma

Reboot Removed SQL 2000 MSDE. Reboot Installed BackupExec 2010 with SQL 2005 Express. REboot * Tested a backup and it was successful. Now we have other applications that now encounter the error below. We have gone through the link below "Troubleshooting NTVDM and WOW Startup Errors" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/196453/EN-US/ with ntvdm error windows no success. Any 16 Bit application will give this error now. command.com, sysedit.exe, our scripts etc... Any ideas are welcome as Google is not very friend with this error.

Also check the registry and make sure that the DWORD value HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WOW\DisallowedPolicyDefault is set to 0. What other apps are having this problem? Have you changed permissions on anything? Do these apps run as services? If so do the service accounts have proper permissions? 0 LVL 5 Overall: Level 5 MS Server OS 1 Message Expert Comment by:ByteSleuth2010-06-03 Hello, i am not sure if it helps but: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/240724.htm regards bytes by the way jorlando's solution looks good from my point of view 0 LVL 30 Overall: Level 30 MS Server OS 5 Storage Software 2 M

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 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 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.
