Some clues from Bill's original post.

The NTVDM (NT Virtual DOS Machine) sugests that this is a dos based  
emulator running on a windows NT class machine, so Windows  
NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008.

The address being specified as CS:IP also sugests a dos based program,  
I would sugest that it is trying to directly access the machine's  
hardware and windows is preventing it.

However Bill, Joel does have a valid point we will be able to help you  
much better if you tell us what emulator you are using and under what  
environment.

On a side note, I wasn't aware of any of the Dragon based emulators,  
also emulating the CoCo 3 (cirtainly not PCDragon or XRoar).

Cheers.

Phill.
