Below is my problem with the FAQ proposed solution.
However when I open the VirtualDeviceDriver in the
registry there is no key entry "VDD" and therefore nothing
to edit. Can someone help walk me through the fix. Mt
system is very unstable and I COULD USE HELP ASAP!! Please
send something directly to my email.
Problem:
the following error message has appeared
16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
drive:\program path
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers.
VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is
invalid. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
In some cases, clicking Ignore allows the program to run
properly, but the error message continues to be displayed
when you start 16-bit programs.
The FAQ Says:
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the following registry value
has become corrupted:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Virtual
DeviceDrivers\VDD
This issue may occur after you install a 16-bit program,
or a program that uses a 16-bit installation program, that
is not Windows 2000 compliant.
RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may
cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall
your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you
can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor
incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
Locate and click the following value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Virtual
DeviceDrivers\VDD
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
On the Edit menu, click Add Value.
Type VDD in the Value Name box, click REG_MULTI_SZ for the
Data Type, and then click OK.
The Multi-String editor appears. Leave this entry blank
and click OK.
Quit Registry Editor.
If the above steps do not work, or if you are unable to
create the VDD key, it may be necessary to also delete and
recreate the whole VirtualDeviceDrivers registry key.
