"divide overflow error"

I would appreciate any wisdom anyone could offer about
this error message while attemping to boot up. I am on
Windows 98 operating system.

Many thanks.

It is probably some old program starting at boot that is causing the notice.
If you remember installing something just prior to the onset of the notice,
uninstall it and see what happens. If you don't, try this technique:

You can also go on a spyware hunt:

Spyware/scumware/adware are causing numerous system problems. I recommend
you download and use the following programs and consider removing everything
these programs identify. Be aware that there are frequent updates to these
programs and you need to check for them before every use.
