Occasionally when I boot up my pc I get a blue screen appear saying I am running low on Stackpins and that I should increase the numbers. Trouble is I cannot find where to do this, any ideas anyone??

Hey Gooner and welcome to Cyber Tech Help http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ubb/smile.gif
Do you mean "stack" and you should increase your number of SP's ?
If so, there is a quick remedy...
Click Start/Find and search for SYSTEM.INI
Double click this file and it will open in notepad.
Look for a line that says...
MinSPs=4 (number may vary)
Increase this to 8 and this should stop those errors.
MinSPs=8
Save the file and reboot for it to take effect.
If the line is missing add the line which I've made bold under the [386enh] section
This only applies to Win95, 98, 98SE, and ME

I have put the line in the system.ini. It wasn't showing which explains why I couldn't find it. Hopefully it will stop the message. Thanks for your help http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ubb/smile.gif
