- I've installed Turbo C++ to a relatively new computer. The .EXE
- programs that the compiler builds result in a "Floating Point: Overflow"
- error from just inputing 1.25 as the value of a float variable. I've
- selected the i486 processor under options.
-
- The computer I'm using is a Micron with the relatively new Intel 83mhz
- pentium overdrive CPU with 16 MB of ram. It is running Windows 95.
-
- When I use the same program on a 486DX266 computer (software is
- loaded right off the CD with no changes to any settings) I do not get
- the error.
-
- Is there a setting I've overlooked or some other explanation for this
- floating point error?
-
- Thanks
