The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: A computer processes information based on a binary counting system. When the user receives a "Divide Overflow" error message, the counting system is trying to divide by zero, which is impossible, thus causing the error message. It is a break in the processing flow. This error message can be caused by WordPerfect or by other external interference.

Troubleshooting procedures:
1.      Check for resident memory programs
2.      Check for device driver conflicts
3.      Rename the WP.SET file
4.      Reinstall WordPerfect

Note:      The user can override both memory resident programs and device drivers by booting the computer from the A: drive using a DOS disk.
