NTVDM encountered a hard error

[EJS77]

I have a strange error on a Terminal session. I receive the above error when
a
user opens an older application. When I open the same application as
myself, Domain Admin, it works. I have removed the profile and the problem
persists. When I add them the local Administrators group I still get the
error. When I add them to the Domain Admins group the application runs.
obviously I do not want the user to be a domain admin so is there anything
that I can do to resolve this problem.

Thanks,
Eric

That's the 16-bit subsystem.
You could check out the Sysinternals tool, Process Monitor, to see where the
app is trying to access (and failing).
You should talk to the application vendor about the permissions their
software needs to run the program. It seems odd that *local* admin rights
won't suffice, honestly.

We encountered this problem on an old 16 bit Oracle Application. Below is a
link to the fix:
