Cmd/Command Errors

[Guest]

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

I'm running Winxp Pro sp2 inc all updates.
When I try to run 'cmd' from the start>run menu item I get this error
message immediately with gibberish printed in the dos box in the background:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.com
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:054c IP:ffe4 OP:fe ff 1d 09 e9 Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application.

When I try to run 'command' from the start>run menu item I can exit to the
dos box which contains the expected text, but I get this error message when
I try to do anything:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:065f IP:0102 OP:8f fc d1 e9 33 Choose 'close' to terminate the
application.

The only applications installed since it last worked were:
Limewire 4.9.28
Quicktime 6.5.2
ITunes 4.7.1.30
IPOD (application)
Uninstalling them did not affect anything.

I haven't installed any new hardware apart from connecting the IPOD as
required.

Can anyone interpret those error messages?

Hi,

Close all running programs. Locate ntvdm.exe in the \Windows\System32 folder
and delete it (it's probably corrupt). Reboot the system. See if the problem
goes away, as the file will be replaced by one from the system cache (System
File Protection at work).

The error message doesn't match but this is what worked for the last person
though that was with 2k...

Error: 16-bit app on XP SP2 :

There's a bit about trying the sfc /scannow prompt. No reply about it
working or not.

That didn't work. Winxp replaced it with another one. I tried deleting the
dll file as well which really upset winxp & I had to restore it.

Hi,

Didn't say anything about deleting the .dll file, just the executable. Do
the same thing with wowexec.exe - if it doesn't help, then follow Galen's
suggestion to run sfc /scannow.
