There's a problem. 800*600*2 > 1024*1024 (video memory needed > 1 mb). Other
than that, you should give exact details about the error. Always check any
pointer that comes your way. Always check the return value of a function that
returns something on error. Follow these rules, and you  are less likely to
crash.
