==Privilege errors== There are some things on a computer which are reserved for the exclusive use of the [[operating system]]. If a program which is not part of the operating system attempts to use one of these features, it may cause a general protection fault. Additionally, there are storage locations which are reserved both for the operating system and the processor itself. As a consequence of their reservation, they are read-only and an attempt to write [[data]] to them by an unprivileged program produces an error.
