I had the same problem. Check out the following page (read the bottom section about stack problems):

http://support.dell.com/us/en/kb/document.asp?DN=TT1025369

I don't know how to increase the number of stacks, but I talked to a support guy and he had me decrease some of the startup programs in msconfig. That solved the problem for me.

snakehead,

The Dell article provides a lot of good information, but is incorrect in the details. It tells to you locate a line MinSPs=2 in your System.ini file. You will not find such a line. On your system the number of stach pages is 5, as reported by the error message. That is the default number and it is not represented by a line in System.ini. To correct your problem make the [386Enh] section of your System.ini file (you can access it either using a word processor or through Start|Run, sysedit and OK) as follows:

[386Enh]
MinSPs=10
