Try typing regedit.exe in Start | Run and see if that works.
Then update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.
Do the same with whatever anti-spyware programs that you have.
NTVDM.exe (NT Virtual Dos Machine) has nothing to do with regedit.exe. I
suspect that you have a trojan/virus/worm and have ended up with a file
called regedit.com, among other unwanted files.
NTVDM.exe will run if there is a regedit.com on your machine.
