>> Yes, look at the facts. The ship had been towed in several times due to nt failures. I have never had my system reboot or crash because of a usermode divide by zero- I guess thats another 'feature' of nt. Microsoft has done an admirable job of covering/obscuring the problem. Following link is an article with more detail talking with guys on the ship who have to service it. I have snipped out a few details. http://www.gcn.com/archives/gcn/1998/july13/cov2.htm << I'd read that article before posting. I can find no reference in that article or elsewhere that says the entire OS crashed. Unless the divide by zero exception occurred in the kernel, the OS would not crash. I say again, this problem was the result of bad third-party software, not the platform it was running on. ---Chuck
