Can anyone please explain these errors (plain English please) and how to correct them?
It means you've screwed up your code somewhere. Probably with a bad pointer. The system would like to tell you more but this is all it has. If you build with debugging symbols, you will get more information when it crashes.
Hi Moschops,
Thanks for your reply. I am a newbie self-teaching coder to c++. What are... how to use "build with debugging symbols? I use windows 7(64bit) OS and Visual Studio 2010 as my IDE. I do not know how to use the debugger yet. How does one find errant pointers in a code? I really appreciate your help! This error has me stumped.
