Now, before you take that the wrong way, please understand that the folks who answer questions here are volunteers. You're asking them to do a great deal of work just to figure out what problem you're having; not what the solution is, what the problem is. It's in your best interest to make your questions interesting and easy to answer. I can assure that few people will find copying, compiling, running, and playing detective just to figure out what trouble YOU are having is not likely to be easy to answer or interesting to anyone.
Please consider this carefully, google "SSCCE", and rephrase your question. Thanks!
