That is a common error and easily fixed. The error will have told you how many stack pages (MinSPs) are currently installed. Go into your system.ini file and add a line to the [386Enh] section. If you currently have five stack pages assigned, increase the number by two, and add a line so that the section starts:
[386Enh] MinSPs=7
That should solve the problem. If it doesn't increase the value by two again until the error message no longer appears.
A stack page is a 4K block of memory Windows uses for device drivers. The impace of adding two will be minimal.
