How can i configure Windows 2000 to lauch each new command prompt using a new instance of ntvdm.exe ?

DOS apps are never stable at the best of times and it would be useful to know that when im having more than one open at a time, one crash won't bring the whole lot down!

Cheers in advance

Curley_Boy,

You need to change the following registry setting to yes:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WOW]
"DefaultSeparateVDM"="yes"
