This is a FAQ!!! Did you bother to check the archive?
Did you initialize DER to a useful value like 0x2002000f ?

Vision* does not understand virtual addresses. You cannot use it once

Why not? This works fine for me...

...probaly you just think  it  stops,  while  in  fact  you  did  not
initialize DER correctly.
