  • Windows10 32Bit NTVDM Issue

    From Tim Whitson@1:103/705 to All on Wed Dec 27 10:19:40 2023
    I have one that is puzzling me. I'm hoping not to have to re-install Windows again. I was having issues with locking up so I did a complete re-install on another drive. Moved over my SBBS directory. I installed the two Microsoft Visual C++ files, I copied the SBBSEXEC.DLL to the System32 directory and enabled NTVDM. It is still giving me an error "NTDVM encountered a System Error 4001h". Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Tim

    I ended up having to go in to the CMD prompt as administrator, enter properties and enable click the "Enable legacy console" option at the bottom of the screen. I knew it would be something simple, just couldn't find it initally while searching the net.
