I figured there might be some people out there who'd enjoy this. Since the page has moved around so much and now that MS has more or less abolished tech support for legacy OSes, I wouldn't be surprised if it's gone. So the link here is to the Google cache.

At least you might get some information on what it all means.

DIVIDE_BY_ZERO_ERROR
If that happened I would hurt someone! If something tried that just return 0. Imagine using 12 days worth of work and ending up with corrupt files just because something tried to divide by 0 :mad:

When Mac OS kernel panics it says Just Reboot dood.Yes, a kernel level error causes that gray screen to FADE in.

lol, what if the kernel error kills the fading module?
If a comptuer has really crashed so bad! I don't want to hear about it. If its well enough to write an error report then its well enough to keep going!!
