integers only support numbers up to about 30,000
you should use a different variable type such as "long"

ok so im guessing that fixed the problem then

also, please refrain from naming your posts "Help" or "computer wont start" or anything vague as most users will ignore theese - be more specific with your post titles e.g "VB calculator - overflow"

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
