So what did you find when you investigated?
On what drive is your folder / Temporary Internet Files ?
How much free space is on that drive?

Get rid of Dr. Watson. That will dispense with the excessive and
totally useless verbiage that it generates to replace the actual error
message.

With the actual error message information (sans Dr. Watson) it is
possible to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base and other resources
for information about the actual error.

Post the actual error message information back here. If there is a
Details button on the first error message window click on it and use
the first part of the detailed error message, up to the word
Registers:, in your response.

Good luck

Those are the proper versions of those files. Here, this could be what
may show up, if you do as Martell says, (but I like DrWatson)...

Error Message: There Are No Spare Stack Pages (Q149083)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=149083

(1) "START, Run, MSConfig, System.ini tab".
(2) Click "[386Enh]", so that it highlights.
(3) Click the "New" button.
(4) Type or copy "MinSPs=4" into it, no quotes. Hit the Enter key
(5) Close up, & reboot.

That's right, mine is "4" & it's fine. (If you get the same error, go
higher in increments of 2, i.e., next would be 6.) Each SP is 2K RAM,
which will be given to a task which has not set aside a large enough
work area for itself. By default, Windows will give it 2 additional
SP's; now, it will get 4.

It doesn't produce quite enough verbiage. So, that can't be it!

I totally defer to Martell. Tell him what you were doing at the time.
One of the procedures at Eshelman's? Has the other error been fixed?
These are the things Martell is sure to want to know.
