Dear support

I have written now my corrected program for an application Servo Drive with the serial port interface and the PIT (PC timer).
I have use the inpout32.dll library.
My program compile fine, but if I running then crashes it and display WinXP priv errors.
What can I do for my problem ?



/* Application program (console apps) Auto_Servo_Drive.eba */

$USE "inpout32.lib"
DECLARE IMPORT, Inp32(PortAddr : WORD), WORD
DECLARE IMPORT, Out32(PortAddr : WORD, PortData : WORD)

DECLARE EXTERN sprintf(POINTER p, POINTER p, ...), INT

DECLARE Test()
DECLARE Sturing()
DECLARE Impulsgenerator(impuls_width : INT)
DECLARE ROUND(DOUBLE d, INT n), DOUBLE
DECLARE FRAC(DOUBLE d), DOUBLE

Was that the cause if the program fails ?
_asm cli _endasm
_asm sti _endasm

Of that I addressed the PIT ?

I don't know what it is

Kind regards

Thanks for the functions : ROUND() and FRAC()

You can't use the instructions cli and sti on Windows NT based systems from user level code.  Only from ring 0 code, the OS itself and device drivers.

Also 'in' and 'out' will fail as a privileged instruction on all NT based OS's (NT, XP, Vista) unless running as a device driver.

You may be able to get input/output to ports working from your application using this:
