ERROR messages

hi

I'm new to C programming and I have noticed that the C compiler do not help you a lot when it comes to run time errors. btw I use visual C++.... I've been trying some FILE I/O testing and I keep on getting windows error messages.
for example:

fileIO.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Please tell Microsoft about this problem.
debug
send error report
don't send


I was wondering if this kind of error is normal or does it have to do with my computer..

Normally, run the debug build, not the release build, and use the debugger to start the program.
That way at least, when it does fail, it is caught by the debugger and you're shown where in the code the problem is.

i see
thanks
