asked on NTVDM encountered a hard error on Windows Server 2003 SP2
On 1 of our Win 2003 servers SP2, I am suddenly getting an error message - "ntvdm.exe encountered a hard error". I can not find anything particularly that was going on when the messages appeared.

Thank You

How can I get a newer version?
