    How can I run 16 bit bbs doors on a 32 bit processor under Microsoft Windows? I keep getting ntvdm error.

    Thanks

    I gave you the answer to this a few hours ago, in this very same echo.

    When you asked the same question in here earlier today (which I
    answered), you said you were running Windows 64. So which is it?

    Do you bother to read the answers to your questions before you post
    another (or the same) question again?

    Come on man, please do better. People try to help you, but you just
    ignore them, or don't seem to pay attention.

    I moved the system over from 64 bit to 32 bit and is still running under Microsoft Windows. The 16 bit dos program is not running
    and giving me a ntvdm error.

    did you install NTVDM and set legacy console mode? You'll also need netfoss.


    I moved the system over from 64 bit to 32 bit.
