Dear Dr. Stone
Hi

After a little bit of working I enabled the debugging.
and here is what I got:

Unhandled exception at 0x000000014017e886 in vmd_WIN64.exe: 0xC0000005:
Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000000.

this is the call stack

And these are the variables I think are related to this line of code:

I just expanded the first or maximum second tree level of the variables.
