Hi Geoffrey and List I complained to Tech Support that the very effect you described occurred when attempting buffering. The solution, off-the-wall as it seemed to me, actually WORKED. It may for you, too.
I have posted this solution a number of times on the List, and have received replies from various readers that it solved their problem. If it does NOT solve your problem - please post that on the list as well. QUOTE This is probably the pernicious error that has cropped up from time to time, and drives us tech support people mad. On the computers that do not crash, check which printer is set as the default. I suspect they will have a different printer, or possibly a different printer driver. A Floating Point Exception error has occured in the following circumstances: a printer driver has not been loaded a printer driver is not properly installed a printer driver is causing a conflict with Mapinfo Install an updated driver or re-install the printer driver through the Windows Control Panel.
