Problem when I try to run certain DOS programs (self-expanders, etc.):

Warning window shows up:

Title: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

Message: ~program path~ SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDriv ers. VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is invalid. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Two Buttons: Close Ignore

Hm...On the self-extractors, installers, and some others if you hit 'ignore' the program will continue with no crashes, etc. Sometimes it'll bring down the program. Never crashes the system. Any idea? I'm going to hit TechNet but figured I'd drop a line here first.

Thanks
