*** Shell *** (I type * because I can't read those characters. That chatacter not English)
Windows protection error. U need to restart PC.
An internal stack overflow has caused this session to be halted. Change the STACKS setting in your Config.sys file. And then try again.

Please tell me, how to fix it ?

Content of Config.sys file have only 1 line
Device=C:\Windows\Himem.sys

This is from the MS-DOS 6.22 Help file and will work in Win95/98:

STACKS

Supports the dynamic use of data stacks to handle hardware interrupts. You can use this command only in your CONFIG.SYS file.

Syntax

STACKS=n,s <font color=blue>&lt;&lt;add this line to your config.sys file</font color=blue>

Parameters

n Specifies the number of stacks.

Valid values for n are 0 and numbers in the range 8 through 64.

s Specifies the size (in bytes) of each stack.

Valid values for s are 0 and numbers in the range 32 through 512.

<font color=blue>Start with STACKS=8,64 and increase until the message is gone.</font color=blue>
