My programs compile fine, but when I run them it pops up a window that says: "Unhandled exception at 0x10252758 in testconsole.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x74736568." It does this for most of my programs, but some work fine. What can I do about it?

Its obvious it can't read a location in memory, I think we would need to see the code to correctly identify the problem.

You probably have a bad pointer somewhere. This might help: Debugging hints.

The debugging tips didn't help. I checked for all the errors I can think of.

#include <iostream>#include <string>using namespace std;struct teststruct{	int size;	string name;};int main(){	teststruct t1;	t1.size = 5;	t1.name = "teststruct1";	cout<<t1.name<<endl;	cout<<t1.size<<endl;	system("pause");}

If thats the entire program, it works fine for me.

Yep, thats the entire program.

It doesn't return an integer I don't think that would be a problem though.

Works fine for me. Perhaps your compiler installation is corrupted.

How can I tell if my compiler is corrupted? Or should I just uninstall and reinstall it? If I uninstall the microsoft visual c++ 2005 do I have to reregister to get a new one?

You would probably have to reinstall it. Which would probably mean yes you would need to reregister. I've heard a few other people mentioning that the Express Edition of VC2005 to be some what buggy.

I reinstalled it, and I wrote a completely different program that also gets that same error. It works fine on the bloodshed dev-cpp compiler. Is there another vc2005 to try?

If im not mistaken dont you need to include in order to use system("PAUSE") ?

I've never needed cstdlib to use system pause before, but I tried it anyway, and still got the same access violation right before the program closed.

you shouldn't need to include anything for the system commands.

How about simply stepping through the program to see on which line it bombs out? That program works perfectly fine for me in MSVC++ 2005 Express though. It is clear you have something very odd going on.

I tried that. It doesn't error until the program ends and it tries to quit.

Does this only happen when you run the program from the IDE, or also when you run it from the command line?

If only from the IDE, then did you do an uninstall before reinstalling VC? If not, you might want to try that.

Are you using a new project file as well? Perhaps the project file settings are incorrect? Did you change them around at all?

Jul 13, 2006 at 12:22 AM

The project was new, and I didn't change any settings. It happens from both the command line, and the IDE. I messed up the uninstal I think, I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling again, and post back later.
