sfc /scannow

It should take a while to run.

Hi,

Close all running programs. Locate ntvdm.exe and wowexec.exe in the
\Windows\System32 folder and delete them (one or both are probably corrupt).
Reboot the system. See if the problem goes away, as the files will be
replaced by ones from the system cache (System File Protection at work).

*Hi,

Close all running programs. Locate ntvdm.exe and wowexec.exe in the
\Windows\System32 folder and delete them (one or both are probabl
corrupt).
Reboot the system. See if the problem goes away, as the files wil
be
replaced by ones from the system cache (System File Protection a
work).
*

I would first try expanding those files from the \i386 folder on th
windows cd onto the ones you have in your \system32 folder it wil
replace them with the original ones. This way is probably a lot easie
than deleting and restarting and such.

open up a command prompt (start-->run-->"cmd"-->enter)
then enter the command as follows where D:\ is the drive letter of you
cd drive.


Code
-------------------
expand D:\i386\ntvdm.ex_ C:\windows\system32\ntvdm.ex
-------------------


Do that for the other file too.

If you ever have this sort of thing happen to you while trying to us
ping, go into the system32 folder and delete ping.co
