Where can I find a list of all windows error codes?


In a previous question, I asked what it meant when my program returned an obscure value like

-1073741819

Well, now I'm getting another large return value,

-1073740777

And I would like to know if there is some list of all of these values and what they mean sopmewhere?


Solution

  • Generally you will get better search results if you print out the error number in hex, instead of signed decimal form.

    For example, your first error is -1073741819 which can also be represented by 0xC0000005 in hex. This is an "access violation" error as google will quickly tell you.
