After 2 years of running without a hitch, 2 of the Win98 machines in my office have bombed on boot-up in the last 2 weeks with the following blue screen of death.

"There are no spare stack pages. It may be necessary to increase the settings of 'MinSps' in the SYSTEM.INI to prevent possible stack faults. There are currently 8 SPs allocated."

What the?? I thought allocating stack space went out with Win 3.1? Of course I see no setting like this in the SYSTEM.INI. How do I fix this?

Do you have a stacks statement in your config.sys...?

Thanks, Comtech, I figured I would have to add a new line to SYSTEM.INI, but didn't know where to put it.
