    Question

    Hey gang...


    I am building an app that will go through all of your memory and display it in a textbox....piece by piece of course. I am using Borland C++ ver 5.02 and I can't seem to get this idea to work. I have tried using pointers but you can't access stuff outside your own working memory. Then I tried using the function peek()
    but that didn't work either. Anyway, any help on this would be great.

    Thx
    Elon

    Windows protects all the memory outside of your program, and only virtual device drivers (VXD files) are allowed to access it. To create these you need to use Assembler, sadly. I think there is one ready-made that you can use to access memory but not change it.
