While on the Internet, I received this error message on my 98 machine: "Increase system settings Min SPs in SYSTEM.INI, current setting = 5." How do I fix this?

Click on Start, Run, type sysedit and click OK. Go to the SYSTEM.INI file and scroll down to the [386Enh] section. There's probably a line that says "MinSPs=5". Change it to MinSPs=8" (because sp's or stack pages should be in multiples of 4).

Here's a reference (delete any spaces after you paste it in your browser):
