That solved the normal stack overflow error. But now I have a new one. When I try to move the window once image processing is going on, the program crashes with a stack overflow error. Increasing the stack to 10MB doesn't seem to fix it. Any ideas?

I'll try that tomorrow when I get back into work. Isn't there ANY way to just increase the size of the stack so I can use plain old 2-d arrays?

I am not sure I am doing this right. This is what my code looks like now: short temparray[PICTUREARRAYHEIGHT][PICTUREARRAYWIDTH]; I am trying to use new short * temparray = new short[PICTUREARRAYHEIGHT][PICTUREARRAYWIDTH]; but that gets an error message saying that it can't convert type short (*) to short [][320] I can't find any examples of malloc being used with arrays.

I am running a program that manipulates images using int arrays as a substitute for the images. Well I can't create another one because it causes a stack overflow error. If I make it 200x100, I have enough space. If I make it 200x200, it goes over. I have read that you can increase the stack size using /F 1024000 but that doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? Right now I have converted all the arrays to short instead of int as a workaround but that seems silly on a machine with 512MB of RAM.
