Multithreaded application in Windows XP

[Hamlin]

I'm trying to get five threads to operate concurrently under windows XP. Currently the first thread activates properly, but the second crashes, and I don't know why. If you do, *please* let me know.

P.S. I know the code is inefficient - I'm just trying to prove to myself that it can be done before I build optimizing procedures.

what language is that?

[redhead]

It's assembly, or atleast looks like it.. But it dosn't strike me as beeing x86 assembly.. It could be some heigher form of assembly..
But then again it could be the heavy use of data befor any real code, that messes up my perspective.
Usualy you would use far more refference to available registers, all these single arguments push, call, jz instructions suggests theres a deafult register beeing addressed, like a0 on alpha.

SDE:

It's X86 Assembly language.

Redhead:

What you're seeing that's potentially confusing is that I'm setting up calls to Windows XP API functions. It can be pretty shocking to see that in ASM for the first time, all the bowing and scraping, etc...

The situation has been resolved - I was taking the wrong approach.
