Memory could not be read ERROR MESSAGE

[adamtdisplay]

Help!

I am new to OpenAL and am trying to build a blank 3d environment with only a number of 3d point sounds. I then want to record how players navigate through this sound field. So to start with i thought i would begin with a simple Lesson1 using LWJGL to understand sound. Code is at the bottom. I have 2 issues. Firstly the following kernel pops up when i try to run it:-

The instruction at "0x0c42c5b5" referenced memory at "0x0c7c4190". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate program.

I have tried all the tips at http://www.java.com/en/download/help/ikernel.xml to fix it but no luck.

Secondly, this error message appears:-

run:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at Lesson1.loadALData(Lesson1.java:65)
at Lesson1.execute(Lesson1.java:125)
at Lesson1.main(Lesson1.java:111)

Here is the code i am using:-

If you could please help me, that would be great. Thanks

The null reference exception looks like it failed to find the .wav file to open (I'm guessing you didn't actually try debug it?  ).
As for the memory error, put a breakpoint in your code and try figure out which line of code is throwing that error. That would help us tell you what might be wrong.

Also, more information would help (OS, Java version, etc.)

I have tried debugging the file but it just throws up the same error message
I am using Netbeans JAVA

Thanks
