Help with NTVDM.EXE

I just reinstalled Win2k today and so far (with many restarts) the file ntvdm.exe is constantly running (as shown on the processes menu in taskmanager) and is using 50% of my cpu's at all times. Does anyone know why the Virtual DOS Machine might be running at all times and how I might stop it? Thanks in advance.

CheeseKilla,

NTVDM is run when a 16-bit application is run and will hang around until you run another one, to stop it from "hanging" around, edit this registry setting:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WOW

Change the "DefaultSeparateVDM" to "yes" (without the quotes!)

Thanks a lot man, working fine now.
