I was wondering if someone has come across a problem i?m having with Windows Me. Sometimes when the PC is booting up I get an erros saying that my program has caused a? divide overflow and the only remedy is to restart the PC until it finishes loading.
I cant find any references on the net regarding this and cant figure out what is causing this, the strange part being that this only happens sometimes (50/50 chance or so) If anyone knows what could be causing this I be grateful if you could share it with me. (i?ve tried to reinstall, remove programs i thought could cause this and booted the the PC with step by step conf. to try to see what is the problem but its seldom the same driver 2 times in a row that causes this message to appear so I getting confused.)

regards

Divide Overflow occurs when something is trying to be divided by 0. This is a program fault. Why it happens occasionly may be because of the type of boot. ie A cold start or a restart.
I would suggest it relates to some entry in the Config.sys file. maybe a DOS based driver trying to load
