I had to re enable       microsoft defender and tell it that ldntvdm.dll was to be allowed and it worked       fine. I had orginally turned it off before I tried to install it and it was       being automatically deleted during install. I even tried to load it on a usb       drive and move it over manually only to be deleted on the usb drive. So in my       case turning windows defender back on again and telling microsoft defender it       was allowed solved the problem. This was the opposite of how I did the install       on the older laptop and the newer desktop. Everything works now.               Rixter       telnet://ricksbbs.synchro.net:23       http://ricksbbs.synchro.net:8080              ---        þ Synchronet þ Rick's BBS telnet://ricksbbs.synchro.net:23        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 240/1120 5832       SEEN-BY: 263/1 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
