8267 2001-02-01 11:38:00 I have recently bought a new computer and twice I have had the following error appear straight after I have started the computer and after entering my password. It appears as a blue screen.The error reads:- ' WINDOWS Terminating thread due to a stack overflow problem. A VxD, possibly recently installed, has consumed too much stack space. Increase the setting of 'minSPs' in system.ini or remove recently installed VxD's. There are currently 3 SPs allocated. '

What does all this mean? I went into my system.ini file but ther was nothing under minSPs to change. I have loaded quite a lot of new programmes lately (what you would expect for a new computer) so would not know what recently installed VxD's to remove. What is a Vxd anyway? What is a SPs? Any help on this matter as I am completely lost would be greatly appreciated.

My computer is a PIII 800 with Intel 815E motherboard, 128Mb RAM, IBM 30GB 7200rpm hard disk running Windows 98 second edition.
