So the guy across the hall from me is trying to install the Sims, but every time the installer initializes, XP says that NTVDM.exe has performed an illegal operation. We tried replacing the exe file and ntvdmd.dll from my computer with no effect, despite the fact that the game installs fine on my machine. Any ideas?
