Windows XP - Invalid Floating Point Operation


Expert: Mike Dacre - 9/25/2007

Question
I recently received this error after I re-booted my HP computer into its original factory defaults. I had set my regional settings and once I had finished the Windows logo screen appeared doing its loading thing when I received this error "Set Res 2.40" something in that respect was the header and "Invalid Floating Point Operation" as the message.

I have been googling, but have not found an answer, I have gotten some insight as what it might relate to. But as to solving the problem I got nothing so far.

My computer is a Windows XP Media Center Edition OP.

Thanks for taking the time to read my problem!  

Answer
Hello Jose,

My guess is first of all, your computer is in desperate need of a clean up from the malware/spyware issues. I would suggest visiting my website at http://tpsconsulting.com and read the TIPS PAGE on OPTIMIZING your computer. Then go to the SOFTWARE/SUPPORT page and install all the programs from the pink section as they will help with the cleaning/removal and ongoing maintenance from the malware/spyware issues.

As to the errors you are getting, a link to the microsoft support page below may be of some help, as it refers to 'upgrading your software', this is typical  if you are not using the latest browser software, you have not updated and using the latest java software (www.java.com) and flash software (www.adobe.com)
Here is the link:

Hope this helps,

sincerely
