By removing this block of code, you would have removed the bug. The actual
problem is that '<=200' in the loop end condition. You're accessing Element
ScreenClip.Start[200], which does not exist (only elementes [0] to [199] do).
This write past the end of ScreenClip hits the beginning of 'Hex' in memory,
and destroys Hex.Vert[0]


As a side note: you have a number of completely superfluous casts in
your code. They're do nothing, except cluttering the source code, so
you might just as well remove them.
