  16. |   int zoop[1000];
  17.                ^____This defines elements 0 to 999
  18. |      int counter;

  21. |           for (counter = 0; counter < 5000; counter += 5) {
  22. |             zoop[counter] = counter;
  23.        Your counter "counter" goes beyond the end of the array
  24.        and your are trashing memory with zoop[counter], I suggest
  25.        your do:
  26.     for(counter=0; counter<1000;counter++)
  27.        {
  28.        zoop[counter] = counter*5;
  29.        };
  30.        to get the same result.
  31. |            }
  32. |               printf("done....");
  33. |               }

  36. |               Well... I hope somebody can see my mistake....
