NTVDM encountered a hard error

by michael . Updated 19 years, 8 months ago

Recently we implemented a Terminal Services setup on W2K3 Standard for around 100 users. The hardware side seems to be fine but after we started testing the application (a mixed 32 and 16 bit app) we suddenly started getting NTVDM errors.
NTVDM encountered a hard error.
This is the only error explanation it gives. Have searched all Microsoft and various sites, including Googling, and have tried all suggestions in both MS KB fixes (replace relevant files etc) and change TEMP & TMP environment variables to 8.3 maximum format to no avail. Has anyone come across this problem or have any suggestions how we can further troubleshoot/rectify the problem?
Hardware is dual Xeon 3GHz with 4Gb RAM and 40Gb O/S drive with 140Gb data drive (both SCSI_320 mirror sets).
O/S is WIN 2003 server with SP1 and all current patches. Clients are all WIN XP Pro SP2.

Thanks people.

Michael
