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
