    PD 6.10 and Stack overflow problem

    I just installed PD 6.10 and on the final reboot I received the following "blue screen" message:

    Terminating thread due to stack overflow problem. A VxD, possibly recently installed, has consumed too much stack space. Increase the setting of "MINSPs in system.ini or remove recently installed VxD's.
    There are currently 5 SP's installed.

    I hit the space bar and it them gave me a new "blue screen" screen that said;

    There are no spare Stack ____
    6 SP's are installed
    I hit the space bar and the system completed the reboot ok

    What is this all about?

    The new drivers appear to be working ok,
    so is this anything to I need worry about??

    Did you ensure all references to your previous drivers were removed first?

        Hi Greebe

        Yes, I did a complete uninstall using the new Matrox uninstall utility

          Adding the line
          STACKS=0,0
          to your config.sys averts this problem, I think. I don“t know if it will work now.
