Wow, Wolfenstein 3D. The good old days.
NTVDM is what windows uses to emulate old 16-bit DOS so it can run 16-bit programs. As far as I can tell, I dont think you'll be able to get Wolfenstein to run on XP.

If compatibility mode doesn't work and you're too lazy to find out about virtual machines, you can find some decent DOS emulators on the web.

I can get Wolfenstein 3d to work just fine on my Desktop with XP Pro SP 2. It is P4 chip 3.8 and ATI 700 Pro. So I wondered if it hated Centrino Duo T7200.
I'll try the suggestions thanks.
