Sounds like you lost your original autoexec.bat and config.sys files from c:, so you are booting from a diskette. Now you get a "divide overflow" error upon execution of some application that ran successfully before.A divide overflow says that you are trying to use a segment of memory that either does not exist or is not available. I'd bet you are not loading an upper memory manager, also that the default environment space is too small. Your original c: contained config.sys probably had something like the following two lines as line 1 & 2, or it may of contained"DOS=HIGH,UMB" as line 1 and the below two lines as lines 2 & 3.DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYSDEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE additionally, the following line was likely the last line in the lost config.sys,"1024" may have been a different value.

It says "divide overflow". The weird thing is I have done this in the past with no problems, when the document was actually a little longer. Any ideas? ------------------ Reply With Quote 07-17-200006:57 PM #2 Dick Knoblauch View Profile View Forum Posts Supporting Member/ Chief Agitator Join Date Jan divide overflow error 2002 Location Fort Wayne, IN WP version: 8.0.0.710, 9.0.0.528, 12.0.0.602 OS version: 98se, XP 2 Network: p 2 p Posts 2,937 I have this problem with a DOS game I play in Win95. If I realy want to play the game, I must keep ertrying to load the game, untill it works. Very inconvenient if trying to load WP. Are you trying to run WP DOS in Windows? ------------------ Dick You write/I polish Reply With Quote 07-17-200007:52 PM #3 morag Guest HMMM - that's an interesting thought. I've tried it (and got the same darned "overflow" message - wondered perhaps I should buy a teeny little plunger or something) on both computers; the new computer *is* a windows computer, when I want to use WP I go to DOS by going to the Start button, then MSDOS Prompt. So maybe that does run it through windows. And the old 386 workhorse computer, on which I used to be able to assemble the document but can't now, has had Win3.1 installed on it recently. I haven't been knowingly starting windows on it before going to WP, but maybe it's there somehow doing its thing. I wonder how I can make it stop?
