Strange 16 bit MS-DOS subsystem error
Recently, I have tried to install 2 different compilers, both giving me this same error on startup and when I installed them. The error is not fatal but I just wanted to know what it means. FYI this is on a Win2k sp-2 gateway laptop. The error isn't specific to this program but this is the most recent:

"16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem"

C:\ldraw027.exe
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDriv ers. VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is invalid. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

I can either hit close or ignore. I hit ignore and the program runs fine.
