this says that mpp970 ... having process id 13740 made a floating point 
operation that required software assistance. The mpp thing might be 
associated with a <LONGSHOT>scanner you have on the system</LONGSHOT>? 
:) Maybe with an intel 5434 chipset?
Not sure about disabling though... Maybe if it's the case update your 
drivers. Check from where you have the mpp file and check for new 
versions of the software.
