| 72072 | 2002-08-18 01:15:00 | When booting up this morning I got this message. "Terminating thread due to stack overflow problem. A VxD, possibly recently installed, has consumed too much stack space. Increase the settings of 'MinSP' in SYSTEM.INI or remove recently installed VxD's. There are currently 4 SPs allocated." Press any key to continue. I did this then used Gateway Go-Back to revert my drive to a Safe Point prior to todays boot. The only thing I have recently installed was a Video Driver update for my system from the Windows Update site on 4th July. The driver was for Intel (R) 828IOE What does the error message mean and what do I need to do if it happens again? |

| 72074 | 2002-08-18 01:26:00 | To fix: Click Start, Run, type C:\windows\system.ini, click OK. Scroll to the section headed "[386Enh]" Look for a line in that section starting with "MinSPs" Increase the number at the end of the line by 4, save the file and reboot. If there is no "MinSPs" line, insert a new line and type MinSPs=4, save the file, and reboot. More information about why can be found here (support.microsoft.com) |
