The problem is the crash that will occur when you dereference the pointer in if (pth->Reserved2) If pth is NULL, for which you check afterwards (never reached in this case!), the program will crash. As for the assertion, it will throw a fatal exception if it is not fullfilled instead of just returning. HTH, ~ Leslie -- PGP-KID: 0x52D70289
