Re: NTVDM.exe has encountered a problem - - what about SSDs?

[Bill Troop billtroop@xxxxxxxx]

May I just say, for what it's worth, that 99% of my computer problems
have disappeared since I started using an Intel SSD as my main drive
instead of an ordinary HD? I think most computer problems occur
because of disk faults and often semi-invisible repairs that the OS
subsequently makes. I've had the SSD in place for about a year and I
cannot tell you all what a difference it makes. I know that SSDs do
fail, in the end, but I am still in the honeymoon stage and it is
vastly better than any hard drive experience I have ever had. Truly,
nearly all the petty annoyances have and glitches have disappeared

Quoting Paul Breeze :
Harry's comments below combined with the problem you are
encountering leads me to wonder if autosave itself is triggering the
crashes.

Interesting thought, and worth testing. The SETTINGS.DFL statement
that disables Autosave is:

DF AOT=0,0

On a related note, I find that the Autosave Path setting (default AOP)
is sometimes lost mid-session and I have to reset it. It may be that
the crash occurs when Autosave attempts to save a file after AOP has
become corrupted. We can talk about workarounds, but in the first
instance it would be helpful to know if setting AOT=0,0 makes a
difference.
