When I open Excel 97 I get a dialog box that says Out Of Stack Space. This happens whether Excel is the first application I open after boot up or later in the session.
My OS is Windows 98 SE on a Pentium with 64mb of RAM.

Here's a quick fix that might work:

Run msconfig, then get to System.ini

In the [386Enh]section look for the MinSPS= entry.
If the entry exists, try setting it to the exhisting number*2 (Unless in the error message there was a line saying "there are currently nnn SPs allocated". If you saw this, then set the number to twice the nnn).
Apply, close, and restart.

If the entry does not exist, then add a new one MinSPS=8.
Apply, close, and restart.

If this doesn't help, try increasing the number by two a couple of times. If that doesn't help, then I am wrong :).
