You managed to trigger one of the bugs in the programme.

Exception c0000005 is "access violation", so it might be the dreaded buffer overflow. In this case, the system has detected it, instead of installing a root kit to take over your computer. :thumbs:

Those numbers would be helpful to a programmer in Microsoft, with access to the source code. There's nothing we can do about it, except restart the programme, or reboot the computer.
