I have experienced with a strange problem with my browser.
It is showing the message like....
c:\users\1appdata\local\temp\instal~1.exe
The ntvdm cpu has encountered an illegal instruction.
cs:0556ip:0480 op:ff ff 00 00 00 chose 'close' to terminate the application.
Now i want a quicker solution for this error message from the users of system at their work stations.

appdata\local\temp is a temp directory - that's where installers and everything else dump their rubbish while they install. Chances are it was a failed installation of something or - worse - it could be something trying to install itself when you didn't ask for it.
Clean out the directory. Everything in there is junk, anyway.

ntvdm is called under windows to execute 16 bits apps in 32 bits OS. You have just to find the old driver -- for a scanner, printer, webcam... -- that is the source of the trouble, and to remove and reinstall it.
ntvdm is not a 16 bits but a 32 bits software anyway, and, yes "ffff000000" does not mean anything in 32 bits x86 assembly.
