Recently I've started getting the message below:
Terminating Thread due to a stack overflow problem.
A VxD, possibly recently installed, has consumed too
much slack space. Increase the setting of 'MinSPs'
in System.ini or remove recently installed vxd's.
There are currently 4 SPs allocated.
press any key to continue
I don't have any MinSP lines in system.ini or config.sys. I remember something about errors like this several years back when lines needed to be added for games, etc to run correctly. If it would call out a vxd, I might be able to trace it down. I've recently flashed my video card bios and installed new drivers, installed a couple games, but nothing that runs when windows starts. This will usually happen right after the desktop appears. It doesn't happen everytime it starts and the system seems to run ok after continuing. Any hints greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Actually, I think its the soundcard driver, essolo.vxd. There's a line in config.sys--device=c:\essolo.drv. I've tried removing this line and getting rid of it in the root directory, but then some games won't work. Think its time to go get a good soundblaster card.
