Help needed with NTVDM.EXE
This is a discussion about Help needed with NTVDM.EXE in the Windows Software category; 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.
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.

its possible that it is running as a service and auto starts everytime you boot 2000 check in computer management to see what services are running
