Re: NTVDM.exe has encountered a problem part 2

Hmmm, the original motivation for TAMEDOS was not to have
the beautiful screen, but to stop Xy from hogging and overusing the CPU.
I wonder if that could be the solution. TAME is very easy to install, and
it has a free trial.


Just thinkin'




Well, it turns out that eliminating
Auto-Save (AOP 0,0) doesn't stop the NTVDM crashes on my Fujitsu U820
minicomputer. I had been testing it with one crucial parameter left out:
plugged in instead of on battery power. Back to battery, back to crashes.



Which leads me to believe it is in the way Windows is managing battery
power on that computer, and power management is an absolute mystery to
me. Does anyone know about those workings? Just to make things more fun,
it's WIndows XP Tablet (unlike all my other WIndows XP machines). That
adds touchscreen controls, etc., but those were not a problem as long as
I had the computer plugged in.


Any thoughts?
