Open the file SYSTEM.INI located in your Windows directory (usually
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI) using a text editor (e.g. Notepad).

Add the following line to the [386Enh] section of the file and then restart
your computer:

MinSPs=4

If the problem persists, increase the number of spare stack pages in
increments of 4 (for example: 8, 12, 16). Each spare stack page requires 4
kilobytes of memory.

possibly at the dos prompt before windows "F8" safemode you can use "edit
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI" and make the change with the edit program.

Hi Mike,

Asking a Win98 question in a WinXP group may get you the wrong advice, =
you should seek out the win98.gen_discussion group for those questions =
in the future. For now, this may help:
