Default WIN98 crashes

"Terminating thread due to a stack overflow probelm. a
VxD, possibly recently instealled, has consumed too much
stack space. Increase the setting of "MinSPs" in
SYSTEMINI or remove recently stalled VxD's. There are
currently 5 SP's allocated."

I did not install any additional hardware or software.
My computer is acting up. It freezes and goes into
recovery mode. I have powered down twice and re-entered
my password - very carefully. Ran a system scan - no
viruses found.
It does not shut down properly - freezes at Windows 98
screen. When I do power up I would get the above blue
screen.

Go to start-run, type "sysedit" without the quotation mark and OK to open
the System Configuration Editor. Select the system.ini window.

Go to the section and add the following line to the [386Enh] section of
the System.ini file.

[386Enh]
MinSPs=12

Save the system.ini. Exit the System Configuration Editor and restart the
computer.

If the problem persists, increase the number of spare stack pages in
increments of 4 (for example, 8, 12, 16).
NOTE: Each spare stack page requires 4 kilobytes of memory.
There should never be an odd number. It should be in increments of "4" as
noted!!!
