Mike,
I do have XP Pro running on a 2.0 gHz Pentium 4 processor, and a properly patched .ESL file works fine. Make sure that there aren't multiple copies of the file in the DOS search path. Novell in particular loves to put the mapped network drives early in the path, and if your FPW .EXE finds a "slow" .ESL file first, you'll still get that Div Zero error.
