windows ME freeze-ups/error messages

Why is my brand new Dell computer with windows me already giving me error messages and freezing up. All I have put on the computer is the printer and scanner that i bought with the computer. The error messages i get are, OE:018F:BFF8E64B, OD:016F:00589350 and a message that said "terminating thread due to a stack overflow problem.

Stack Overflow Problem:

Go to Start > Run, type in 'msconfig' (without the quotes) then click OK. When the window comes up click on the 'System.ini' tab then scroll down and click on the + sign next to the [386Enh] entry. Look down the list for a line that looks like:

MinSPs=6

If you find it then click on the 'Edit' button and change the 6 to a 8.

If you don't find the line (which you probably won't) then click on the 'New' button. When the little box appears type in:

MinSPs=8 (exactly like that)

Then hit Return, OK out then reboot.

If you still get the error repeat all the steps down to finding the line and change the 8 to an 10 (i.e., increase by two (2) until you don't get the error any more). Going with 8 should fix it.

This might fix both errors. Try it and see.
