It's the way the computer holds information.
A generic example: when you're typing stuff into word, it saves this information in "virtual memory" - not the actual hard drive, and that's why if it turns off, it's all gone!
Well, when you're getting ready to hit *save* it grabs all that information floating up in virtual memory and saves it to the hard drive.
While it's "floating" up there it's in a logical container - there's a few of them, like the stack, the queue, the hashtable, etc... the stack is the most commonly used... and it means exactly what it said:
there was an overflow on a stack of information.. at line 0.. which usually means at the beggining of the program, so something is having a problem trying to run on your computer.
If you haven't installed anything recently, I'd recommend checking for viruses or spyware.
Good luck

Stack overflows can cause Microsoft Windows to stop responding (hang).
