A client has replaced all old PC's with new XP based units connected

Needed to run Verifylh on the system due to multiple GFEs on a table
and our concern about other possible data corruptions.
Triggered the procedure and it crashed at file 112 of 954 well ahead
of the time for the system backup to kick in.
The error message on screen apparently made ref to NTVDM and 16 bit
app but the client failed to print the message before exiting.
We have no issues relating to expanded memory on the XP station as the
default install made 4096 available which was great to know.
Our concern relates to the fact that the procedure crashed when at no
other time in the many years of our successful use of the VERIFYLH
command have we ever experienced such an incident.
We have realized, having reviewed the forum for XP related issues,
that we need to change the files command in the config.nt file for
each XP based workstation (forgot to do that) but is there any other
possibility that would cause the NTVDM error?
Kind Regards,
