I wrote and I debugged a windows program. Rather that it run, it throws an exception with the following message:Unhadled exception at 0x00000003 in Assist School.exe: 0x0000005: Access violation.

The dialogue box gave me two options, break and continue.When I clicked break I got the following message:No symbols are loaded for any stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed.
The dialogue box once again gave me two options,Ok and dissembly.When I clicked dissemble I got a list of low level memory address.
How do I get my program to run? I use Visual Studio 2008. My OS is XP.

Please start debugging your program from within VS 2008 and set to "Debug" instead of "Release".

Usually that happens when something isn't initialized, but with no code or debugging hints it's impossible to say what.

Solution 1

Error code 3 is usually Path Not Found. So what in your code is trying to open a file or do something with a file?? Either the file doesn't exist, or it doesn't exist on the folderpath in your code.

This is just a guess because you haven't provided enough information about your code to diagnose this.

FYI: He did say "Unhadled exception at 0x00000003 in Assist School.exe: 0x0000005: Access violation.". So the error isn't 3, it is 5 "Access violation". :)

Feces! I knew I shouldn't be answering questions on an empty stomach!

Ah, great! Another viable interjection I can add to my s**tload of mostly non-PC swear words! :)
Thanks Dave!

Solution 2

Turn on the debug options in your compiler/project configuration (use the help manual). If it crashes again you will see your code.
