It's more of an annoyance than a problem ...

Yes, it's always does that the first time it creates the NTVDM for that
window.  I only see it once per session (the first time a DOS image 
is run).  It must be hard for Microsoft to fix, since it's been there 
since the Windows 2000 release.

That's why I have not worried about it.  Once per session (unless you 
kill NTVDM, then you'll see the message again).
