NTVDM -- NT Virtual DOS Machine -- for 16-bit applications -- could be an old app that NT gags on?

From http://webopedia.internet.com/TERM/N/NTVDM.html

"Windows NT will not allow NTVDM to execute instructions that try to
directly manipulate hardware or memory locations. As a result, some DOS
and Windows 3.x applications (such as games) may not run under Windows NT."

Tell us more about this screen saver...

I agree with sea69 -- get rid of it, as it probably will not work with NT.
