Error: "the NTVDM encountered an illegal instruction"

Hi, I developed a Visual C++ 6.0 MFC Application on Windows 2000 5.00.2195
Service Pack 4. THe Application runs fine on my machine. But when a customer
who also has Windows 2000 is trying to execute this application, they are
getting the following error.
"the NTVDM encountered an illegal instruction"
What is causing this error and what do i need to do to fix it?.

Thanks

Sounds like a corrupt executable. NTVDM shouldn't come into the
equation, but if an executable is badly enough corrupted, Windows will
mistake it for a DOS program and attempt to run it as such.
