It may have been the first time I ran an old Dos program since I upgraded memory of XP-pro SP3 to 2Gb, but I was somewhat staggered to find that the Dos subsystem (NTVDM.EXE) which starts to run that Dos program was occupying 1.2Gb of memory and using 100% cycles to do it.....bad boy....that never used to happen when I only had 512Mb memory.
Since the actual Dos program has memory useage of just 8Kb, I find it a bit offensive
Does anyone have knowledge of a registry setting to cut down on this memory abuse by ntdvm.exe ?
