Error Code error-vdm-hard-error — Windows 11

Postup řešení

1. 1 First, check if the application is 16-bit. Right-click the .exe file, select Properties, and look at the 'Compatibility' tab. If it says '16-bit' or 'MS-DOS', Windows 11 cannot run it natively. Instead, use a virtual machine or DOSBox.
2. 2 Download and install DOSBox from the official website (dosbox.com). DOSBox is a free emulator that runs old DOS programs. After installation, open DOSBox and mount the folder containing your program. For example, type 'mount c c:\oldgames' and press Enter. Then type 'c:' and press Enter, then run your program by typing its filename.
3. 3 If the program is a 32-bit Windows app but still gives this error, try running it in compatibility mode. Right-click the .exe, select Properties → Compatibility tab, check 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:', and choose 'Windows 7' or 'Windows XP'. Click Apply and OK.
4. 4 Alternatively, enable the 'NTVDM' feature if you're on 32-bit Windows (not available on 64-bit). Press Win+R, type 'optionalfeatures', press Enter. Check 'NTVDM' and click OK. Restart if prompted. This is only for 32-bit Windows.
5. 5 If the above don't work, consider using a virtual machine like VirtualBox with a 32-bit Windows or DOS installed. This is the most reliable way to run legacy software.
