Hello again,

could someone please let me know what error type 2 / type 3 stands for?
I've been using a music software lately and I constantly get this messages after being kicked out... :confused:

Is it a memory problem?

regards

J.

D=02 Address Error
The Motorola 68000 microprocessor can access memory in increments of one byte (8 bits), one word (16 bits), or one long word (32 bits). The microprocessor can access a byte of information at an odd or even memory address. But it must access a word or long word at an even memory address. So, when the microprocessor attempts to read or write a word or long word at an odd address, you see this error. Since that's a 50/50 proposition when running random code, this one shows up quite often.

ID=03 Illegal Instruction
The computer has a specific vocabulary of machine language instructions it can understand. If a computer tries to execute an instruction that isn't in its vocabulary, you see this error code. It's less likely than error 02, but still very common.
 
thanks for the info gloster seagul,

but i still don't understand why am i being kicked out of the software even though ( i think) I'm using it the right way...

Any way explaining it in english please... :)
