SYMPTOMSWhen you start a 16-bit application, you receive an error message similar to the following:
16 Bit Windows Subsystem - Hidden Console of WOWVDM. The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. Source CAUSEWhen you receive WOWVDM error messages when starting 16 bit applications, they may be caused by problems with the Config.nt or Autoexec.nt file. These files are parsed each time a VDM is started. If there are problems with these files, you may see error messages such as the above.
RESOLUTIONEither restore the Config.nt or Autoexec.nt file, or remark (REM) any nonstandard lines in the existing files to determine which file is the source of the errors. Remove the offending line(s).
