NTVDM.EXE has stopped working -- what's up with that?

Asked by im2tonic

This is not an Ubuntu problem. However, it cropped up in an Ubuntu context, so here goes. I had downloaded Wubi and when I clicked on the .exe to run it I got this 'NTVDM.EXE has stopped working' message. I'm using a new HP Pavillion tx2500z running Vista on an AMD Turino X2 Dual Core processor and a wireless N-card , Maybe someone on this board has run into this, or can suggest a more appropriate board or forum for this. ...Fred

I think this problem is not related to Ubuntu installation but...

I suggest you to install Ubuntu NOT using Wubi.

If you have installed Ubuntu via Wubi please uninstall it read http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php

Installing Ubuntu using Wubi make Ubuntu less robust and all problems that you will have to Windows can be affect your Ubuntu partition file.

I strongly suggest you to install Ubuntu+Windows in dual mode creating a real Ubuntu ext3 partition.
In this mode you can use Ubuntu and Windows ad usual and then using installed Ubuntu you can save or repair damaged (due viruses or other issue) Windows partitions data.

- Here the steps to install Ubuntu 8.04.1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall (pretty the same for Ubuntu 8.10)

Is very easy to install, if you need info please ask.

Thank you
