Memory access error on startup

[bill147]

I am using C++Builder 5.0 I have a program that at startup it loads string lists and arrays from several ini files. When I load one particular ini file I sometimes get a memory access error when loading one of the other ini files. I saw this problem about a year ago. When I remark out some lines of code the error then occurs on a defferent line. I seems like the system is running out of memory to put data or pointers are getting overwritten - this is my guess. This is the strange part: I can have 2 computers that are identical with the same operating system from the same cd and one has the problem and the other doesnot. Also I had a customer using this program for 6 months with no problem then one day the problem appeared. Does anyone have any ideas on this.

Check your virtual memory size and see what programs are loaded in memory on each machine. I suspect that something has been added to the machine that stopped working. Also, it wouldn't hurt to reseat your memory chips, too.
