So, have any of you other windows users had a problem with the latest netfoss not wanting to talk to NTVDM.EXE? I would REALLY like to get my doors back up.

I'm run win7/32 with no issues what so ever on my doors. Did you do this?
1. NETFOSS.DLL installation:

*** IMPORTANT *** If You are using Windows Vista or a later version of
Windows such as Windows 10/8/7 or Server 2008/2013, you will need to copy
the NETFOSS.DLL library into the \windows\system32\ directory. This can
be done by from an Administrator Command Prompt by entering the following
command line:
copy c:\netfoss\netfoss.dll c:\windows\system32\

To open an Adminstrator Command Prompt in these versions of Windows,
right-click on a "Command Prompt" icon and select "Run as Administrator".

For older versions of Windows, including XP, 2000, 2003 this is not
required as long as the directory where NETFOSS.DLL is located is
in the Windows %Path%.
To view which directories are in the Windows %Path%, go to the Control
Panel System Properties > System > Advanced > Environment Variables
and view the "Value" assigined to the System Variable named Path.
Or from a Command Prompt, type "set path".

I'm guessing your running XP? Sorry but you never said what OS your using. I did have a NTVMD issue along time ago when running XP. Very hard to remember back that far what exactly I did to fix it. Either I replaced the EXE with
one from a different machine. Or I used a utility repair tool. Like...
To repair ntvdm.exe errors, I've use a software package called Advanced System Repair Pro. This repair tool has been proven to identify and fix ntvdm.exe errors and other Windows problems with very high efficiency. I can seem to think about anything else when it come to NTVMD.EXE

Frequently Asked Questions:
---------------------------

Q: Does NetFoss run under Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Server?
A: NetFoss is compatible with all 32-bit versions of Windows NT,
including Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000 and Windows Server.
When using a version of Windows newer then XP, the NETFOSS.DLL
will need to be copied to c:\windows\system32\

64-bit editions of Windows don't support NTVDM (Virtual DOS Machine),
so they can not run DOS applications unless you run a 32-bit version
of Windows inside a Virtual Machine such as "XP Mode" or VMware.

Q: Does NetFoss run under Windows 3.x, 95, 98, ME?
A: No. These versions of Windows do not offer true multitasking,
resulting in very poor performance for running DOS applications.

Q: Does NetFoss allow all MS-DOS-based BBS programs and doors to
redirect to a telnet connection?
A: Yes, as long as the application supports FOSSIL or INT 14h
communications NetFoss can be used. For other applications that
communicate directly with serial UART hardware, the NetSerial
redirector can be used instead of or in combination with NetFoss.

Q: Does NetFoss work with Windows-based BBS programs?
A: Yes and No. Windows-based programs don't use a FOSSIL themselves,
so a FOSSIL is only needed to allow the BBS to shell to external
MS-DOS-based applications (doors). This is done by the BBS handing
over the telnet socket (or COM port) to NetFoss when a door is run,
and after the door application exits, NetFoss releases the socket
(or COM port) and returns control to the BBS program.

Understood, running win7pro here also, but never had any netfoss 1.17 issues like your referring too here anyway hope you find the problem.
