Too little information. There's no indication as to what "alpha" or "file" is. If you're looking for psychic phenomena, I suggest you check the midway at your nearest state fair. Violations of this type are often caused by attempting to access memory which isn't yours to access, or by attempting to write to memory which is only readable. A very common cause is presuming that some pointer can contain the information which you seek, when it can only contain information directing you to the information which you seek. If that information is not separately provided, or if you have not informed the pointer of the proper location of said information, you are up the proverbial creek. Paddling upstream in wave-ridden dung with a needle is not recommended.
