What antivirus do you use, I use InoculateIT updated weekly. Have a look at Q274841 on the MS Knowledge base for more details. HTH PC	Guest (0)

You can increase the number of stacks in the config.sys file. Use Notepad to open config.sys in c:\windows, and add a line stacks=64, 512 or change the existing values to above. There is also a Make Compatible program in Win98, go to start-run and type in mkcompat, from File choose the name of the program causing the problem then check the box that says give the application more stack space.
