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. |

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!!! |
