UNSOLVED
stack overflow
I recently purchased a Demension 4100. After three weeks of use, I am now getting the following error message when I boot up:
"Terminating thread due to a stack overflow problem. A VxD, possibly recently installed, has consumed to jmuch stack space. Increase the setting of "MinSPs" in SYSTEM.INI or remove recently installed VxD. There are currently 5 SP's allocated."
What is my problem???

You have run out of stack pages (4K pieces of memory that Windows allocates to drivers). To increase the number of stack pages, add the following line to the [386Enh] section of your system.ini file: MinSPs=7 which will increase your stack pages by two. If the error recurs (and it sholdn't) you can go back into the [386Enh] section and increase the number of MinSPs by two until the error no longer appears.
