0.8.1 bug? - found the problem

[Jim Sladek]

Last week I posted a note to the effect:

"When going to www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/corporate.asp with
0.8.1-stable (Win32), the site partially loads and I get a lockup and
error report: BEONEX-COMM caused a divide error .... "

Problem solved.  After I "imaged" my drive, I built a bare version of 
Win98SE and installed Beonex.  It had the same problem as before.

Well, the installation was "bare" except for the nVidia video card 
drivers.  When I went to "256 colors", the site access was okay.

Definitely a video card/driver problem.  I restored my system from the 
image and after installation of the latest video card drivers, I now 
have access, at least to the MS site, without error  and while using 
"True Color".

Hmmm.  Maybe that might explain some very infrequent program lockups 
that I've experienced in the past.
