Hi Meir....If it's happening when you start up, then it has to be one of the programs that starts with Windows. In Safe Mode, go to the Start button and type msconfig ... Then, in there, look at the Startup section (I'm not sure exactly where it is in Windows ME but I know it's there...look for a tab or a button that says Startup)....try unchecking everything (except Explorer and Systray IF you have both of them), then reboot into regular mode and see if Windows starts...if it does, you can go back to msconfig and start adding stuff back, one at a time, until you find the culprit.
Here's a website which tells you what all of the stuff in msconfig is: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.htm Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com FREE MS Office eBook Tutorial http://personal-computer-tutor.com/library.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-pcworks@;imagicomm.com] On Behalf Of Meir Cahal Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 10:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PCWorks: Divide Overflow problem Hi all, I need some help I have a PIII 800 running Windows ME and when I turn it on I get a message in the dos screen "Your program has caused a divide overflow error If the problem persists contact your program vendor" At this point the computer freezes. It will go into safe mode but it does not help because I don't know which program the message is related to. Meir ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
