stack overflow at startup
Greetings,
I've started having trouble with my 4100 933 hanging on startup. I get a blue screen of death message to the effect that "this thread is being terminated to do stack overflow.'' It goes on to say a recently installed .vxd may be the culprit and recommends increasing MinSPs in system.ini, and that 5 SPs are currently allocated. I've looked through system.ini and don't spot anything like MinSPs. Anyone have any thoughts on where this can be adjusted?
Cheers,
Stoutfella

Ron55,
I set it to 8, rebooted, then shut down and started again. So far, so good. Thanks for the assist!

Try this:
VXD STACK OVERFLOW PROBLEM
If you have Win98 or ME go to Start / Run and type in MSCONFIG. OK the Run and click on the System.Ini tab. Click on the + next to (386Enh) and then click on the New button down below. Then type in MinSPs=8 and hit [Enter]. Close out of MSCONFIG saving if Win prompts you. Reboot and the message should be gone. If not you may have to go back to MSCONFIG and increase the Stacks by 4 more and reboot again. You can continue to increase the Stacks by 4 until the message disappears.
Have a Good One...
