Quick overview:
Nach einer Geräteinstallation oder Treibersetup passiert es in einigen Fällen, dass der Rechner geschwindigkeitsmäßig sofort die Segel streicht und sich plötzlich die Performance verringert. Die Stabilität kann sich ebenfalls verringern und folgende Meldung kann auftauchen:
Program terminated due to a stack overflow problem. A VXD file used too much stack space. Increase the MinSP settings in System.ini or remove recently installed VXDs. Currently xx SPs are in use. Press a button to continue.
This occurs when the internal stack memory, which is used for 32-bit device drivers, overflows. In this case, you can increase the stack memory, which also increases the speed of Windows.
1. Click on "Start/Run and enter "system.ini in the command line.
2. Now go down to the section "[386Enh] and enter a new command with the name "MinSPs=ZAHL. Valid values for the number variable are all numbers that can be divided by 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 etc. Increase NUMBER until the error message disappears.
3. Now click on "File/Save and exit the editor. After a restart, the stack overflow messages should be bitter history.
