When I try to install a client for Micros DB on NT Worstation over the network the installation does not proceed because this process NTVDM.EXE run the CPU at 99%.
Can you give me any idea how to run this process with MS DOS shell in a separate memory? or something that would let me to run this instalation. Thank you.

Hi, had similar prob with DOS app last week. try this
Create a shortcut for DOS app, get into properties, select the Misc tab, Under Background tick the ?Always Suspend? check box is ticked and slide the ?Idle Sensitivity? indicator to High.

Did the trick for us. NB but the "Always suspend" will stop the app using ANY resources if it isn't the active window so make sure your done when switching to another task.
