"divide overflow error"
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: How to Perform Clean-Boot Troubleshooting for Windows 98 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=192926 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.
