im getting the error below and I can't figure out why this isn't working. Ive looked at this for 2 days not knowing. I'm hoping a fresh set of eyes on it might help.

line 87: pWalker is an uninitialized pointer and your program is bound to crash. You need to initialize it with the value of the parameter pList. As for the problem you asked about, please tell us which line in the code you posted the error occurs.
