HI Guys,

Got a XP Home machine running a DOS based POS system, and
when its sitting there doing nothing, ntvdm.exe is
running at 99%, essentially killing the machine. In fact
it keeps overheating the machine and making it shut down.
Any hints?

Cheers,

Ky

Have you tried changing the idle sensitivity in the programs properties?
