I have the following home built system, which has been running flawlessly for
3 months now (*after I went through 2 weeks of problems doing the initial
setup). However, I received a peculiar message yesterday on boot up.  The
system is as follows:
--1. Abit BE6 II M/B (latest Bios),
--2. Crucial 128MB ram/133/ecc,
--3. Pent III 600B (133 Fsb),
--4. 3DFx Voodoo 3 3500 TV AGP 16 MB,
--5. Win 98 SE,
--6. Sound Blaster Live Platinum,
--7. Desktop Theater 5.1 Speaker System,
--8. Western Digital 20.5 Gig 7200 rpm Ultra 66 HD,
--9. Hitachi 19" SuperScan 753 Monitor,
--10. MS Intellimouse mouse,
--11. PC Power & Cooling Tower Case w/275 Watt Power Supply,
--12. Linksys Combo II Ethernet,
--13. Actisys IrDa IR210L Infrared Adapter,
--14. Pioneer 6x/40x DVD,
--15. HP 9100i CD R/RW,
--16. LS 120 Floppy,
--17. Eagle TR3 Exabyte Tape B/U (Old).
    The message I got (Blue Screen) was as follows: "No spare Stack Pages. It
may be necessary to increase the settings of 'MinSps' in SYSTEM.INI to
prevent possible stack faults. There are currently 6Sps allocated."
   I checked my SYSTEM.INI and find no reference to the above message.
Should I add a MinSps line to my SYSTEM.INI and if so what would the
appropriate string format look like?
   The only other problem I have is with using Creative SB16 Emulation, which
will cause the system not to boot, unless I remove the sound card, install
Creative Sound Blaster 16 Plug and Play, reinstall sound card and use it like
that. I have moved the sound card to every slot on the MOBO, and the problem
persists. This "fix" leaves a  ' ! '  in Device Manager. This is the fix
Creative tech support told me to use since they had others with a similar
problem and had been successful with this, assuming you don't play games in
MS DOS mode.  I have a thing about perfection and this solution does not sit
well, however the system seems to be fine otherwise. Any help or comments are
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Jay Merritt
