Good god, man! Don't mess around with those memory errors! If you're going
to write to memory, make SURE you get get right the first time!!!! During my
early days of trying memory copies, I poked over the 64000 limit, and not
only did my program crash, but EMM386 halted my computer saying that I wrote
over sensitive parts of memory! SCANDISK found a few errors, but (thank god)
I was able to fix them (hopefully). Now, I always quad-check my code so that
I never have to worry about that happening again! You're lucky all you got
was a CauseWay Error!
