_CrtIsValidHeapPointer(pUserData)? 2

It seems that you try either to delete memory which has already been released or to delete memory which wasn't allocated dynamically on heap, but on stack. Eg.
Standa K.
Code:
void func()
{
int i = 0;
int* pi = &i;
delete pi; // we're deleting non-heap memory
}Standa K.

or
int *x;
*x = 123;//x is not initialized
when you will look in debugger the falue of x will be probably 0xCCCCCCCC or 0xC0C0C0C0 or something like that. If x is 0 then it is a null pointer exception.
Also an error is:
int *x = new int[elements];
for(int i = 0; i <= elements; i++)
{
x = something...
//error when i will be elements;, put elements - 1
//instead of elements or < instead of <=
}
this error is often raised when working especially with arrays and strings. For example
int len = strlen(somestring);
char* acopy = new char[len];//to avoid error put there len+1
strcpy(acopy, somestrimg);//there is an error
Many of these errors you will not get when working in release mode or when just lauching the exe module. But these errors are dangerous.
