Hi,
I'm running Win 98 on a compaq laptop and I get a divide overflow error
everytime I boot. I can't get in to windows at all. I've tried booting
into safe mode and I get the same error. While doing the step by step
confirmation i get the error on the WIN line. I also tried booting from the
Win 98 startup disk and running scandisk on the HD. It gives the error "run
time error R6003" divide by integer 0 at 42% of checking the directory
structure. I went into the BIOS and checked to make sure that the boot
sector wasn't write protected, everything looked fine there.
I'm really at a loss I don't know what else to try. Could this be a
hardware failure of some sort? RAM or HD perhaps? Suggestions are most
appreciated.
Thanks
