38336 2002-03-08 22:28:00 Hi Guys,
Have started to have a problem when I open my hotmail through MSN. The dreaded 'Blue screen' comes up with the following message:

Windows
There are no spare stack pages.
Increase settings of MinSps in the system.ini
There are currently 5 sps allocated.

I have gone into System.ini & cannot find any reference to stack pages or sps in order to increase them.
I have a pentium III/550mhz running on win98,56k modem. The problem seems to have started after I upgraded to Internet Explorer 6.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Diana

NOTE: Each spare stack page requires 4 kilobytes of memory.' Guest (0)
