Re: NTVDM.exe has encountered a problem

Jon,


Does your SETTINGS.DFL have a line like this:


; Autosave path

DF AOP=c:\




Many thanks to all for the
suggestions. Changing the Settings.dfl line to AOT=0,0 seems to have
worked!


I have had three NTVDM Xy4 windows with multiple files within them open
overnight--no crash. I've run a browser via wireless, used CLIP.exe,
cut-and-pasted and used the thesaurus--no crash. I even upgraded Firefox
while XY was open. No crash. I rebooted and reopened multiple XY windows.
No crash. It's downright miraculous.


But Carl, you mentioned the possibility of a workaround, presumably to
get back Autosave. I unfortunately forgot what values I had in AOT
before, although my other computers suggest they are AOT=5,10. (5 and 10
minutes were not, incidentally, when the NTVDM crashes happened.
Sometimes it was before I'd opened any file.)


Vis-a-vis the other suggestions: no NTVDM besides Xy4, no Nota Bene,
After my previous post,  looked into the error message that it was
offering to send Microsoft and that said the TAME.exe had crashed, but I
presume it's just because Tame was closely attached to Xy4.


I suspect the difference is XP Tablet, which supports a touchscreen and
stylus and other things on this computer, which is something like a
primordial  iPad without apps. It may have a process interfering
with NTVDM.


If need be, I'lll get by without Autosave but its crash-free resurrection
would be wonderful. Tweaks welcome.

Any thoughts on keeping some kind of Autosave function? Thanks.
