I think you mean vXd, which is a virtual device driver.
Stack space is the amount of RAM a driver needs to allocate to properly run a device (it's more complicated than that, but you don't really need to know more).
Open "system.ini" in notepad.
In the [386Enh] section, look for a line that says: "minSPs=x" with x being a number. Increase that number by a couple.
If you DON'T have that line, add it, and make it thus: minSPs=10
Save it as "system.ini" including the quotes!, and restart. Cheers,
Jim

got it done..thank you very much for your help..just one more question?.by doing this does it take away memory from my actual ram while i am working in programs?.by the way you got a star..

Thanks for the star!
Each SP takes 4k of RAM, gee, I think you can handle that!
SPs=10 means it's reserving a whopping 40k! Cheers,
