24246	2001-11-12 04:52:00	Occasionally at start-up I get this blue screen message ?terminating thread due to stack overflow problem. A Vxd possibly recently installed has consumed too much stack space. Increase the setting of the ?MinSPs? in System.INI or remove the recently installed Vxd?s. There are currently 4 Sp?s allocated. Press any key to continue?. Pressing a key completes the boot up satisfactorily. I have not installed any new drivers. I have a P-III,63MB,8.2GB system with Windows 98,SE.Kindly suggest a remedy.

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

24249	2001-11-14 05:07:00	Thanks tweak?e . I ran ?sysedit? the system.ini file shows enteries for boot,keyboard,boot description,[386 Enh], etc. [386 Enh] is followed by ebios,woafont etc. I see no entry for minSps. Do I add the line MinSPs=4 immediately after the [386Enh] line as a separate line? I am new to this hence the query. Btw why does the stack overflow problem occur?	Guest (0)
