Hello
I have just started reading the book.
In chapter 1 I got caught.
When asked to "Click the start button" following error showed up:

System.AccessViolationException was unhandled
Message="Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."
Source="System.Windows.Forms"
StackTrace:

InnerException:

Search more help online, is fruitless because I have no idea what I'm looking for. I'm only on page 14, means starting crawling.

Would appreciate if somebody could help, else, 800+ pages will be used as starter for my next BBQ.

Thanks a lot!

I've seen this a couple of other times with office applications that use Visual Basic add-ins. Make sure that your system has all of the latest Windows updates applied and then try again.

Thanks for your info. I have updated what I could but it's still not working as it should. Still get the same error. Probably I try to format C, install everything new and see what happens.
Thanks and have a nice day,

Finaly got it right.
Format C and start from scratch did the trick!

Thanks again!
