Stack Pages error in Windows 98SE

I recently put together a new system a couple of weeks ago and with a clean install of Windows 98SE. Worked out all of the IRQ conflicts and other problems and have been running fine for the last week. Today I installed Adaptec EZ CD Creator 3.01(I think) and rebooted the system. The system booted and loaded windows, but then went to a blue screen and displayed the following message:

"There are no spare stack pages. It may be necessary to increase the setting of 'MinSPs' in SYSTEM.INI to prevent possible stack faults. There are currently 6 SPs allocated."

I pressed a key to continue, and things seemed to be working normally. I rebooted and this time I received a similar messages except that it mentioned a problem with a Vxd file (a device driver I assume) and that there were 5 SPs allocated. I continued and everything seemed to be functioning as far as I could tell.

Looking at the Microsoft knowledgebase it mentions how to resolve it by updating SYSTEM.INI. I can't help but think that this is not normal though and that there must be an underlying problem possibly with a device driver. Does anyone have an idea about how I might resolve this? Thanks.
