What are Errors of Type 1 and 2?

Errors of Type 1 & 2

Type 1 errors usually indicate that your program ran out of memory. Technically, the program tried to access a chunk of memory that didn't exist. You can usually remedy a Type 1 error by allocating more RAM to your program, upgrading the amount of RAM in your machine, or simply by re-booting to shuffle your existing RAM back into contiguous sections.
Errors of Type 2 are also related to memory use. Your Mac tried to store data in an address that couldn't contain it. Reboot to shuffle your RAM.
