It has to do with memory. When you make requests of your computer programs it puts those requests in a stack (or pile) and then works on them in a predefined order. There's a certain amount of memory reserved for the stack and when you exceed it you get a stack overflow error. These errors usually either kill the request or result in a program crash.

  • The Mshta.exe HTML program"
They say they have a hotfix so go to this page.

"Stack overflow at line 0"

b> A stack is a section of memory where a program stores its variables, calculations, option states and program parameters. When started, a program is allocated some memory to use for the stack; a stack overflow happens when a program exceeds its allocation. The offending program may attempt to write into adjacent memory sections, causing conflicts with other programs. Stack overflows are common with Java, C++, Perl and other runtime environments, which assist in running programs. A stack overflow at line 0 indicates that the offending program tripped up from the start; however, stack overflows can occur on any line number.

Click "Start," "Control Panel, then "Internet Options." Click on the "Advanced" tab. Check "Disable Script Debugging (IE)" and "Disable Script Debugging (Other)" under the "Browsing" options. Uncheck "Display a notification about every script error." Check "Enable Automatic Crash recovery." Click "OK." Download and install a Java update from the Java website. http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Download and install a Windows update. Hope this helps.

Stack overflow at line 598

Stacks are reserved memory that programs use to process hardware events. A stack overflow occurs when there is not enough space in memory to run the hardware interrupt routines. To resolve these behaviors, you can modify the "STACKS=" line in the Config.sys file, eliminate terminate-and-stay-resident program (TSRs), and eliminate hardware conflicts.

When Windows delivers an error message that is related to an internal stack overflow, there is not enough space in memory either set aside or available to handle the calls that are made to the computer hardware. There are several things to consider when you troubleshoot this behavior:
  1. The Config.sys startup file may not be properly configured for the Windows installation. Use the following values: STACKS=64,512 ;(this is the maximum allowed)
    FILES=60
    BUFFERS=40 If you are using the dual-boot capabilities in Windows, the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files may not contain the correct configuration to run Windows. When you are dual-booting between Windows 3.x and Windows, these files may not have been renamed back to Config.dos and Autoexec.dos.

    Examine the Config.sys file to determine if files such as Himem.sys or Emm386.exe are loaded from a folder other than the Windows folder. If so, boot Windows by using the Safe Mode Command Prompt Only option. Rename the Config.sys file to Config.dos and the Autoexec.bat file to Autoexec.dos, and then restart your computer.
  2. Some TSRs may be interfering with Windows. Disable any non-boot device drivers in the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files. If you install from Windows 3.x and you receive a stack overflow error message, check the Win.ini and System.ini files for non-Windows-based programs or drivers that are loading.
  3. There may be an incompatible hardware configuration. Check the port and IRQ settings of the network adapter, sound card, and modem. Make sure that there are no COM2/COM4 or COM1/COM3 conflicts and that no devices are sharing IRQs. Disable or remove conflicting devices.
  4. The computer may need a BIOS upgrade. Check the BIOS version and contact the manufacturer of your computer for information about a BIOS upgrade.

Hope this helps. Please rate my response.
Thanks.
Have a good day

IE: stack overflow at line: 0 Today, I noticed the following issue (IE only, of course). Running a page that does some comet (via “XHR GET” for long-polling), I got the following warning: “stack overflow at line: 0′ and the application stopped working…
I did some google-searches and found some “hints” that said I should disable my third-party tools for IE etc. That sounds strange…
In fact the problem was the odd cache behavior of the IE. The XML (from the “long-polling servlet”) was cached and its JS was executed; also the application itself started the polling too, so I (no IE) ran into this odd issue…
Changing the server-side code – that is responsible to render the XML – to have no cache rules (e.g.”Cache-Control”:”no-cache”) did the trick. It worked again. Of course, on your “comet output” you potentially don’t want cache to be present…
So fixing the cache solved the issue. There was no need to disable Norton or any other third-party tool… icon_smile.gif

Stack overload at line 48

You hav run out of stack space. This means you have gone into too many levels of subroutines for example and have insufficient storage allocated for the return vectors and variables.

You will have to increase memory available for the stack, or have less levels of subroutines.

You may also hava a re-entrant subroutine that keeps calling itself until the return stack overflows.

Stacks are reserved memory that programs use to process hardware events. A stack overflow occurs when there is not enough space in memory to run the hardware interrupt routines.

Basically you have a specific program causing the overflow or a hardware conflict (usually a driver error). find out what the program is, and depending on what it is, see if there is an update on the vendors website (usually if you are getting the error someone else has had the same problem)
Have you just installed a program or a new piece of hardware?

Microsoft has a support doc available that will explain more to you.

Let me know if this helps or if you require further assistance

Hope that helps
