hexidecimal error message in notepad

ok, ive been having this problem with the loader and the frc chip. I've been spending the day trying to calibrate the current sensors so we get amps back instead of a 10 bit number. Anyways, i did some math and programming os it would display decimals instead of just integers (basically, i made two variables and had "current=%d.%d",ipart,dpart) It worked just fine but the coefficent was wrong so i changed it and added a "\n" so the new outputs ended up on new lines. Anyways, just after i loaded, the light on the frc for programming stayed orange and blinking (thats the loading state) and would not change, even if i pressed reset. I also got a nice error which came up in note pad all in hexidecimal. They looked like memory addresses and contents to me. So, thinking i did something wrong, i changed my coefficient back and removed the "\n" escape sequence from my printf() function. Still gave me the same error. Over and over and over. I'm now contemplating just deleting the code, bringing in the original, and starting from scratch. Unless anyone knows what is up and can help me. I would be quite grateful.
