When I call StartServiceCtrlDispatcher I get -1073741819 error code. And it's not in winerr.h so I don't know what it means. After googling it I found that many people's security systems returned that error code when they where infected by a virus. I don't think I have a virus, but that does make me wonder why my program does this. Any one know what this code means?
I think you can find 0xC0000005 in the error codes, which is the hex version of the number you've just given.

I've already looked, the hex isn't there either.
I found this from msdn.

I just read some more, and there are other places that mention access violation.
Could the be because my program access rights arn't high enough?
That's a STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION error code. Let me take a wild guess here and assume you are calling HeapAlloc somewhere in your code. If so, are your function input parms correct?
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION can happen for ALL sorts of reasons - they are all related to passing invalid values into the kernel or in other ways accesing memory in an invalid way.
It's basicly "you tried to access some memory that doesn't exist" (that memory could be referenced through a pointer, a handle or any out of a number of other ways to get to a memory address - incorrectly telling Windows how many elements you have in some array can lead to this too).

No, even with debugging privs it happens.
I'm not calling HeapAlloc.
matsp, that makes sence, I will look through my code for this.
In particular, check for calls that are unsuccessfull and then continuing to "use" the data "returned" by the call, such as unsuccessfull file opening, invalid parameters to some other function and then using the "not filled in" parts that you expected back or some such.
