The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Process File: ntvdm or ntvdm.exe
Process Name: Windows 16-bit Virtual Machine
Description: The Windows Virtual Machine for 16-bit Windows and Dos programs is used to run dos programs and old Windows programs inside a virtual machine
Common Errors: N/A
System Process: No
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So if you don't run any 16-bit programs, you can safely disable it from the startuplist.

Rank: Wizard

16 bit programs are dos programs, old games (win95 and lower) so if you don't use any of them, just disable them.

You can ask a question at CS to reopen this question so you can give the points to Sunray_2003
I could also make a question to give points to sunray_2003 if you both agree on that.

Best free system analyzer I've seen, and real easy to use:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html

Don't know if that's exactly what you mean, but for instance it actually shows you which prog. started ntvdm.exe if you select Tree View or Rightclick +Properties for ntvdm.exe

It helped me anyhow to get to which program caused the problem
 
09.22.2005 at 01:01AM PDT, ID: 14934805
Oh, and that http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html

also gives easy option to kill ntvdm.exe and get system performance back
