Question about 'Boot Directly into DOS'

I have a question about Boot Directly into DOS:

When working in WordPerfect or Norton I sometimes (too often in my opinion) get the message that there's a stacks overflow. Then everything stops and I have to reboot and start all over again. Sometimes the message about Stacks overflow also pops up if I accidentially happen to jolt the table where my harddisc stands. How do I avoid this?

This is a copy/paste from another fourm ,answer to a person with same problem as yours!! click Start/Run, type in sysedit, hit enter... ...click on the System.ini file, scroll down to the [386Enh] section, and at the bottom of the section, add this line: MinSPs=8 save and exit, then reboot... ...if it still gives you overflows, keep increasin yur spare stacks, by 4 at a time, as in 12 then 16, till the prob disappears
