All i am trying todo is read weather capslock numlock and scrolllock are on and then return a value "boolean" i tried #include <stdio.h> typedef volatile char byte; int main() { byte* ptr = (byte*)0xC000000; printf("%20x\n", *ptr &0xFF); } it compiled but when run gave me a Segmentation Fault I was told about (API) calls but need somemore information. Thanks for any and all your help, zippo
