Run complete virus/adware scans first. If they don't find any infections, then it sounds like NTVDM.EXE has been corrupted or replaced by an incorrect version. You could boot from your Windows XP and try a repair installation, which should replace that file (along with any other system files it considers missing or damaged). But be careful- instructions on the repair installation follow:

he focal point of VM capability in Windows NT is NTVDM.EXE from the SYSTEM32 directory. Each running instance of NTVDM.EXE constitutes a separate VM. NTVDM.EXE is a Win32® program. However, it uses its separate address space to create a VM that runs alongside regular Win32 processes. In other words, programs for MS-DOS and 16-bit Windows are like children belonging to the adult NTVDM process. NTVDM is just another adult Win32 process, with essentially the same rights and privileges as any other Win32-based program. This architecture even has its own name, Windows On Windows (WOW).
that what it says about your problem, apparently you get this error when trying to start WINDOWS, insert your Windows XP disk, select from BIOS 2 boot off of CD-ROM and try the repair function to repair windows. Should take about 45 minutes but GL its your best bet.....
Find a Windows XP disk from a friends if you need 2....

Do you have anti-spyware programs on your system, if not go to microsofts website and download their free version, it could be spyware. One question though did you update any programs lately or install new programs it could be a conflict but I'm willing to bet that it's something else. Make sure your anti-virus is up to date and that you have a firewall for you system and spyware removal tools loaded as well in this day and age it pays to stay safe in the online world.
