Butter overrun

[Mygundi2]

I keep getting "butter overrun. this program will be terminated, etc. "' This has occurred in Outlook Express,, Google, home page.It has only recently started (about 3 months ago.) Have Windows 98 and wonder if it's just wearing out (Have had other strange occurrences in Winword; but that's another post..)

If you mean 'buffer overrun' see this link ....

Type : Buffer Overrun in the search box as the link would not go to the specific page.

I sometimes get a butter overrun as well when I put too much on my English Muffin.....what are ya gonna do??

The OS doesn't wear out....it does however get clutterd by apllications that are installed, spyware, etc. It can get the point where a fresh installation of Windows is the best thing you can do instead of trying to fix all of the apllications causing your troubles.
