Stack error message while using IE

On a seemingly random basis, I get this 'blue screen' error message, usually when IE is running:

"Terminating thread due to a stack overflow problem. A VxD, possibly recently installed has consumed too much stack space. Increase the setting of 'MinsP's in system.ini or remove recently installed VxD's. Currently 5 Sp's authorized."

There is no setting in system.ini that I can find that sets the amount of Minsp's (whatever they are). Any idea what this is about and how to resolve it?
 
In the [386Enh] section of system.ini, put this line:
MinSPs=4
After saving the system.ini, restart your computer to make the new change take effect.
You can try increasing the number "4" in increments of 1 if "4" doesn't help. Cheers,
Jim
