Ive been using my older computer for a while when my main laptop had a virus and i was cleaning it. I haven't used it in a while and for some reason i get a strange error message on startup every time:
" is not a valid floating point value
i tried doing a google search but all i found was people talking about getting the error message after they installed a program or something
also worth noting on turning the computer off i get another error messag saying
Ibservice.exe - Dll instilization failed because the application failed to initilize
nothing seems to be really crashing or anything but i get these error messages every time. I was just wondering if anyone happened to have any idea wtf these meant or how to get rid of them? Its been bugging me for a while. I'm back to the laptop but i still use this one from time to time.

Indeed ... the error won't help ya a bit, it just means that whoever made the "software" didn't make it properly and is trying to do a command on a variable that should have been a floating point value (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point) but isn't. Defo signs of a lazy/inexperienced or just plain bad coder

I remember the super old pentium chips having a floating point error/defect in them. Highly doubt this is the case though. Seeing as your laptop would have to be from 95-ish. :P

completely unrelated... this hardware error not only has been fixed for more than a decade it wouldn't have appeared under normal use and definitly wouldn't have popped up under this form.
