NTVDM CPU Illegal Instruction

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I am receiving the above message when I try to access cmd at the Run menu.
"16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem C:\Windows\System32\cmd.com The NTVDM CPU has
encountered an illegal instruction" and then an address appears but changes
everytime I get the message, which is everytime I try.
Thanks,

cmd.com is *not* an XP file. It should be command.com or cmd.exe.

Update your antivirus software and run a complete system scan.
