stack pages

Windows says I have no spare stack pages.
Could someone please tell me what would cause this and how to fix it. Says to increase "minsp's" in system.ini which I looked in in msconfig but cannot find any "minsp ".
Thanks, Duncan

 

Duncan1--You should find your MinSPs value in the System.ini file which you access from Start|Run|typesysedit|OK. Look under the [386enh] section. If you do not have a line for MinSPs, create it there. Make the value MinSPs=8.

 

You can increase the number of stack pages by doing this. Go to Start -Run - type in sysedit. A number of pages will open in a box. Click on the top of the System ini file to bring it to the front. Scroll down it until you find an entry {386nh}. Under that should be an entry MinSPs= the number will probably be 8, 16, or maybe 24. Whatever the number is increase it by 4. If the entry MinSps is not in the section {386nh} add it and make it =8. If this is not enough you can add to it later.

 

Thanks to Welshjim and Jayt36.
