Situation:
When using Norton AntiVirus (NAV), you see the error message "Terminating
thread due to a stack overflow problem. A VxD, possibly recently installed, has
consumed too much stack space. Increase the setting of 'MinSPs' in the
SYSTEM.INI or remove recently installed VxDs."
Solution:
This is usually caused by a Windows setting that is set too low.
To resolve this problem, you must make some modifications to the Config.sys and System.ini files, as follows:
FILES=150 (set to 200 if on a network)
BUFFERS=80
STACKS=12,256
MinSPs=4
NOTE: The MinSPs setting can be set higher if desired, but should be set in increments of 4. Each SP takes 4 KB of memory. (If there is no MinSPs statement, then the default value is set to 2.) For additional information on the MinSPs=4 setting, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article There Are No Spare Stack Pages (ID Q149083).
8. (Windows 95 only). Add or modify the following entry in the [386Enh] section so that it is set to at least the following value:
MaxBPS=768
9. Save the changes, exit, and then restart
the computer for the changes to take effect.
This came from the Symantec web page. I altered it to work with FSD1
computers.
