NTVDM....??? What's going on??!

Hi Prooners.
I have a problem with my current laptop.
Every ten minutes or so, I kep getting two dialogue boxes open up - one is headed 16-bit MS-Dos subsystem, and informs me that NTVDM cpu encountered an illegal construction (Close or ignore), the other is headed CWindows\temp\win110~1.exe and is one of those big black windows asociated with dos I presume.
What the hell does it mean?? A friend tried to assist by saying it could be a recently installed programme not installing properly, and that when it appears again, to track it in processes. The thing is, I have tried, but whatever it is doesn't seem to be using any cpu usage under processes. So, I have gone back through and begun uninstaling the recent programmes until I have reached a point where it is still appearing, but there aren't any more programmes to uninstall!
Anyone able to assist please? I'm guessing I could do a recovery or reformat, but would like to try and avoid such action if at all possible.
Thank you!
