Help needed with NTVDM.EXE

Recommended Posts

Sometimes right after booting my machine, sometimes after starting some applications my system starts to become slower and slower. A look at the Windows Task Manager showed a program called NTVDM.EXE eating 95-99% of CPU power. Shutting down this program manually frees those eaten up ressources. Also, I don´t receive any error messages of other programs complaining about NTVDM.EXE not running.

 

I´d like to know what program launches NTVDM.EXE, what it is good for (NTVDM) and how to prevent it from being started.

 

Please help me out.

NTVDM = NT Virtual Dos Machine

 

Check your startup and registry for old 16-bit apps and if you don´t need it uninstall.
