16 bit windows subsystem

[lab]

I am trying to load the terminal services client on my
home pc - Windows/2000 professional so I can dial into
work. It begins to load and I get 16 bit Windows Subsystem

SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirgualDeviceDrivers.
VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is
invalid. Choose close to terminate application.

I have ntfs. I have tried the 16 bit version of terminal
services client with the same message.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Have you tried loading the newest version of the RDP
client onto your computer?

I will try that when I get home. I see it's for XP and
I'm running 2000. Our terminal server at work is 2000
Server.

Thanks for the hint

I was having the exact same problem today on one of my machines. It
was the same error message and I was so frustrated I was close to
using percussive debugging on the machine. But I just clicked ignore
and it went ahead with the install and seems to be working fine. I
think my problem was some changes I made to the client computers
registry last week when I had to manually uninstall Notron Antivirus.
I am not an expert but it worked for me...

michigan i would buy you lunch. Thanks again.

So by disabling Norton Antivirus you were able to get
things to work right? Odd...
