Win 98

[sahadeva3]

Hi everyone

Has anyone gotten an error message in Win 98 that suggests increasing the "Minsp" value in system.ini?

I looked for Minsp and could not find it.

My computer is pretty unstable right now when on the internet.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The radical answer: Format and reinstall with all the windows updates. If windows was installed long ago and many programs have been installed/uninstalled, a complete format is the best... if you know how to do! If you do you can install WinXp instead, if you have a PIII 500 with at least 128 meg of ram (minimum), winXP will be able to run.
Hope that help!

MinSPs=Minimum Stack Pages
these errors usually occur b'cos of a bad device driver. try looking for an update for any of your device drivers.
till then try this
Go to start-run, type sysedit without the quotation mark and OK to open the System Configuration Editor. Select the system.ini window.
Go to the section and add the following line to the [386Enh] section of the System.ini file.

[386Enh]
MinSPs=12

Save the system.ini. Exit the System ConfigurationEditor and restart the computer.
If the problem persists, increase the number of spare stack pages in increments of 4 (for example, 8, 12, 16). Each spare stack page requires 4 kilobytes of memory. There should never be an odd number. It should be in increments of "4" if i m right.

P.S. Win98 by default handles MinSps by itself. so pls back up your stuff if something goes wrong accidentally.
