I'm having a couple of problems running my compiled VB-DOS programs on
Vista..

1. Full-Screen mode is not allowed. I can perhaps live with this, but
more importantly...

2. I'm getting this message as soon as I try to run a program...

NTVDM.EXE has stopped working.

....and the program doesn't run.

Hoping someone can help.

I have no idea.

I suggest that you consider installing (free) Microsoft Virtual PC, then
insall DOS and run your VBDOS program in a VPC.
