title: "Cannot load VDM IPX/SPX support" when running assembly program
body: <p>When I try to run an x86 assembly language (built using MASM) program on Windows XP, I get the following error in the command prompt:</p>
  
  <pre>
  Cannot load VDM IPX/SPX support
  </pre>
  
  <p>However, the output of the program is displayed correctly afterwards, and this only occurs the first time an assembly program is run in a console window.  What does this mean, and what can I do?</p>
  
  <p>(Note that I am using a college computer without administrator privileges; my Windows 7 laptop cannot be used because it is a 64-bit system.)</p>
