    Reference by pointer error


    Good evening,

    I have been getting the error Reference By Pointer on a blue screen, then the system reboots. I can provide a minidump file, would someone be able to assist?

    Thanks,

  2. Pointers

    Points are simply a value (address) that "points" to a value. It has no extra information about what it is pointing to (hence the danger). When using arrays/indexers, the operating system knows this is a collection that is this long and is of this type. Any operation that steps outside of those constraints is caught and handled. On the other hand, if a pointer so much as points to the wrong address, all the values will subsequently be wrong.

    Pointers are faster but more risky.

  3. Pointers

    Incrementing a pointer is a...

    address += sizeof(type)

    ...operation. If the type is incorrect for the data contained, it will encounter all kinds of logical errors.


    The compiler takes care of incrementing a pointer--it's one of the few tasks that are indrectly managed in dealing with pointers.

    Mouse Pointer

    Hi,

    You can customize your mouse in a variety of ways in Windows. To change how your mouse pointer looks, you can follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the Start menu, then click Control Panel.
    • Select Mouse, then go to the Pointers tab.
    • Select the pointer you prefer from the drop-down list, click
      Apply > OK.

    If you want to use a pointer that is not on the list, you can download it online. After that, go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers tab again, then click
    Browse.

    Update us if it addressed your issue.
