What is the purpose of locking memory?  I am new to 32 bit programming, and
I saw the  locking functions and have heard of them being used, and I am
curious.

Could not locking be the reason my program keeps crashing on my blit code? 
It sometimes works and sometimes doesn't...

Thanks in advance, and I appologize for such a newbie question.
