I always get this error when I launch a 16 bit program
NTVDM.EXE has generated errors and will be closed by
Windows. Am I missing a DLL or something?

16-bit programs run in Windows On Windows (WOW) which runs under the NTVDM.EXE sub-system. The message you
are getting indicates that NTVDM.EXE caused an exception to happen. When this happens it should write an entry to the
Dr Watson log (drwtsn32.log) and create a User dump of the NTVDM.EXE process, this is assuming Dr Watson is still
setup as the sytems default debugger. The information in this log and dump file can be used to help determine why this is
happening.
In the meantime you might want to see if you get the same message when you try to run Command Prompt or something
like EDIT.COM
You may also want to look at the following article.
