I have a problem with ntvdm.exe running on my pc. I run windows xp and when I leave the computer running for a while ntvdm.exe starts and takes up 100% of the cpu usage. It takes a while to end the process in task manager but when I have ended the process it will be fine for an hour or so and then it starts again. Please help as it is affecting other programs as I use my pc for work. Thanks.

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

Oh my god, it looks like a virus because you closed it down but it opened up one hour later without asking you... I recommend you to reformat your pc and put better anti virus programs and update them the more often possible!!

Good luck!!

DO NOT FORMAT! "Ntvdm.exe" is a true windows 16-bit application helper. Search the file name using Google. It is possible that you have 16-bit virus running in the background though.

Hey...i too facing with the same sort of problem. But not got any remedy for that to reduce CPU usage from 100%.
For such(Borland C or Turbo C) a kind of application,the CPU usage must not go beyong 5-10%,isn't it? . The processor has been used as if I am running a 3D game or Adobe application.
If u got ur preoblem fixed,please mail me the remedy to me to venkatesh.adusumalli@gmail.com

After a fresh windows xp install, I unfortunately installed "Vista Icon Pack 3.0". Before that every thing was right. after this, my computer went terribly slow, especially in start up.

after watching task Manager, i found that all my cpu performance is taken by ntvdm.exe application. I clicked "end process" and after that everything ran very very fine and CPU went from 100% to 4%.

For me, ntvdm.exe does not start automatically, but with this, my computer gets tooooooooooooo slow. If its not a virus then may be more dangerous than a virus, because it effects the PC performance more than a virus could do.
