I'm trying to launch a 16 bit Windows program on Win2K pro, and am getting the following error:

'16 bit Windows Subsystem'
"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers .VDD Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is invalid. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application"

Unfortunately, the search engine for the Micrsoft support database is down, and I cant search their site!

The error occurs when trying to launch the program from the Start/Programs menu. Anyone run across this in the past?
Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Karen
