Can't help without code

[pskyboy]

Thats the biggest problem im not quite sure where its happenign so can't give you the relevant code. I was just looking for suggestions for what it could be. Im guessing im just writing into the video memory or something.

Your stack or something, maybe your MM ( memory manager ) must be writing to the wrong memory...the video card.

I'm thinking his video write/print function is mixed up or he used it incorrectly.

[pskyboy]

I found out what it was. If i declared a variable in one of my classes it caused this but when i declared the variable in the header it stopped this. The weirdest error i have seen in a long time.

Maybe you ran out of room somewhere.

in early times, i had similar problems with a loop on some memcpy that was writing to memory at some address under 0xa0000 and which didn't stop because of a wrong loop condition ...
So the writing goes over 0xA0000, overwrote the video area and goes on until it finally wrapped back to address 0000 and overwrote the writing code itself ... then the CPU finally crashed.

I'd sure like to know what hex that nice light blue text color is...though...

[pskyboy]

I can tell you that im using it for my text. The only problem is it comes out dark blue in Bochs and light blue on my machine i guess its probably the vid card code in bochs. Its 0x09 for light/dark blue.
