Divide Overflow

[hbeers]

Trying to use older dos app within a window on XP. Get a
divide overflow error. What does this mean?

 

[Mike Kolitz]

It means that the program is encountering some sort of error that it's not
handling properly. You may want to try running the program in a
Compatibility Mode.

Here are a few articles about how to use that feature of Windows XP:

Your CPU is too fast to run the program.
You may need a patch for the program to run it on your
hardware.
