Hello group
Please let me know, why do we need a seperator
wrapper(NTVDM.exe in windows) to run 16 bit
applications on 32 bit architecture.

Hi ,
(NT Virtual DOS Machine Emulator ) . The
ntvdm.exe process is used when you run DOS or 16-Bit
software on your windows pc. It will emulate the old
DOS/16-bit os to allow older programs to run. If you
are running DOS based (or 16-bit) programs on your
computer, you should leave this process running on a
32 bit OS . For example , if you are using Turbo C 3.0
, which is basically a 16 bit application , this
process plays a very important role and for that
matter even the basic command prompt . "ntvdm.exe" is
flagged as a system process and does not appear to be
a security risk. However, removing NT DOS Virtual
Machine may adversly impact your system. The Process
Server database currently registers ntvdm.exe to
Microsoft. Never ever try to end this process ! by
killing it or in Windows Terminology , " End Process
Tree " and if you add this flag in the boot.ini file
of Windows this line / SOS , you can see that
NTVDM.EXE is one of the first few files that are added
when the OS boots up , let it be any Windows platform
..
This is part of Microsoft Windows (NT) and all the
latter versions that came based on NT Architecture
such as Windows 2000 Professional and XP and platforms
of Windows 2000 , viz Server , Datacenter , Advanced
DataCenter ones .
ntvdm.exe is related to cmd.exe, wing.dll, wing32.dll,
wjview.exe, awlhut32.dll, d3d8.dll, wow32.dll,
wowexec.exe, Please use google a lot and you will get
the answer yourself . Thats the way you do it . Learn
from google and if your problem is still not solved
then post it , in the manner explained below .
I hope you got the answer , and please remember that
this is a LINUX group and please quote " [OT] and your
question " in the subject line . Else you might get
banned ! . Please read the FAQ's of the group .
