Gpib-nt NTVDM CPU

[victorwyo]

I try to run the gpib-nt.com app but when I do I recieve an error that the NTVDM CPU has encounted an illegal instruction.....choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

victorwyo,

Have you successfully updated your config.nt file with the appropriate line? I'm assuming that you are attempting to run a DOS application under WinNT, correct? Check out the following post for more help on this:

Let me know if this doesn't help out!

Just to add more info to Craig's post, GPIB-NT.COM isn't really an application, but a driver that is intended to be loaded into memory rather than executed. Running it by doubleclicking on it is invalid. Trying to "execute" this type of driver will always result in a illegal instruction.

I finaly got it running the pathname in the config.nt for the gpib-nt.com...I guess it was too long I moved the file to the local drive and changed the pathname to the shorter one and it worked.

Thanks
