Recently I have had the following Windows bluescreen error
several times.

"There are no spare stack pages. It may be necessary to increase the
setting "MinSPs" in SYSTEM.INI to prevent possible stacks faults. There
are currently 5 SPs allocated."

First time I got this message I rushed to SYSTEM.INI to increase the
value of MinSPs, but there was no reference to SPs, not of any kind. The
Windows 95 resource kit makes no reference to it either.

So I took a chance, and inserted "MinSPs=6" under [386Enh]. It didn't
work. The original message was repeated. Can anyone help bale me out?
