Yeah right. T.R. Nicely's page had a supposed e-mail from somebody working on the NTVDM stuff, and they said SP1 would fix it (which it didn't). I'm not saying it should be priority #1, but still, my freakin' 12-year-old P166 has 32 MB of RAM. My current laptop has that much squared (1 GB). It seems silly to limit such programs. Where's Mark Zbikowski when you need him??

I tried your HX_NTVDM .DLL thingy, remember? It didn't help.
