Re: NTVDM encountered a hard error

 

I had the same NTVDM Hard Error reported to me for a 16 bit application under

terminal services.

 

The answer was found by using the Filemon utility.

 

Access denied message in the Filemon log.

 

Corrected permissions and all okay.

 

Obviously this will not apply to everyones problem but may help someone.
