I asked about the error interger divide by 0 and what it means. This happens when I am trying to load a program. I just had my whole computer checked out to see if anything was wrong with it and everything checks out. Another problem I am having is that I can't load the wave files for a PCI answering machine modem. Would reloading my video driver help this problem too?

Video was a guess. Integer divide by zero is usually a memory problem. Since you had the machine checked, I assume enough RAM. Have you run scandisk and defrag lately?
Other questions are:
Did the message mention Runtime error? That would indicatea software problem.
What are your machines spec's (RAM, OS, Processor)

I'd suggest that you try this program in another computer. I've seen this error occur with computers that are perfectly fine.

When there's a specific sequence of tasks before you get the error (essentially, when you can recreate the divide error on demand by doing a specific sequence of keystrokes), then the error is caused by the programmers of that application. They did not account for that particluar sequence of events.

If this happens when loading a program.... then look at the program specs and make sure that your computer is properly setup for this program. Look at the directions, call the manufacturer, etc.
