alex,

I am not sure what your question is about.
Do you see the same behavior if you run your app under XP Pro?

The 100% CPU usage is fairly common with 16-bit programs (ntvdm) under NT/2K/XP. Normally it results from a program sitting in a
loop and polling the keyboard. In fact it may not be using or needing the CPU time but because it preempts the 'idle process' it is
seen as using all the processor time.
