I am using Visual C++ 6.0 introdctory edition on a pentium2 300mhz under Windows NT workstation 4.0 service pack 3.<br />
I would like to change my video mode from a console application to the resolution I desire (mode 13h).<br />
My question is how do I do this? right now this is what I'm trying to do<br />
<br />
void set_mode_vga()<br />
{<br />
_asm<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;mov ah, 0x00;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;mov al, 0x13;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;int 0x10;<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The error doesn't pop up at build time. When I run the program it gives me a message saying that 'the intruction &quot;0x0040177c&quot; referenced memory at &quot;0xffffffff&quot;. The memory could not be &quot;read&quot;'.<br />
<br />
If someone could help I'd really appreciate it

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
