Why?
It's 20+ years out of date, and my guess is you're running XP or something as your main OS.

Congratulations, you've turned your Ferrari into a horse and cart.

Get code::blocks or visual studio express (details in a search engine near you).

Oh, and re-read ALL the forum rules until you figure out how to use code tags. It's only mentioned half a dozen times, how did you manage to miss all of them.

which line?

>>*ptr_1=ptr1;
Probably cause an immediate crash. Why? Where does ptr_1 point to? It's undefined because it was never set to point anywhere. You can't just use a double star pointer like you are trying to do -- they don't work like that.

Here is a simple example

int main()
{
    int x;
    int* p = &x;
    int**p1 = &p;
}
