    Weird error when running program

    When I goto run the program, a windows error message pops up saying the following:

    The instruction at "0x00404fc9" referenced memory at "0xcccccccccb." The memory could not be "read".

    What does it mean "The memory could not be 'read"??

    It's funny, because when I switch to a small sized file with less words, it works - the error message doesn't pop up. It happens when I use the bigger file with something on the order of 60000 words in it.

    Show some code that's doing this work where you might think its crashing.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
