Hi Warship,
Is the program 16-bit or 32-bit?
Learn How to Spot a 16-Bit Application
Posted: August 24, 2001
Because most Windows 3.x-based programs run properly under Windows XP, it's
sometimes difficult to tell 16-bit and 32-bit applications apart.
Here are two methods for determining whether an application is 16-bit or
32-bit:
Right-click the program's executable file and then choose Properties. If you
see a Version tab, it's a 32-bit program.
Or, if the program is running, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Windows Task
Manager. On the Processes tab, look in the Image Name column for the name of
the program's executable file. If any 16-bit programs are running, you'll
find an entry for Ntvdm.exe, the virtual DOS machine. Just above it in the
list, you'll see indented entries for Wowexec.exe (the Windows on Windows
subsystem) and the executable name of each 16-bit program running in that
virtual machine.

Can Any one help me? I am trying to install the Cessna PPL course, I
get it installed and start it up, get the first screen and then get
a message that the system detected a "NTVDM.exe" problem and is
shutting down to the desk top. How do I correct this or change the
settings. I know the program will run on XP, I just can't get it to
work on mine.
I would be greatfull for any help you can give me.
Thanks,
Warship
