>My new Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop has the ATI Rage 3D chipset and FoxPro 2.6a GPFs everytime I start it. Fortunately, I just hit "ignore" (or tell Norton CrashGuard to ignore it) and everything is fine. I had no clue what the problem was until we rented a bunch of Compaq Deskpros for a tradeshow and only the PCs with the ATI chips exhibited the problem.

If it's the "divide by zero" error, have you applied the MS patch for running FPW26 on high speed computers (over 300 MHz or so)?
