Project error help

Hi everyone, I am doing a jeopardy type game in C++ and it does not run properly wherever I run it. There is also a bad access error on question 5 about "kurtenbach". There are no errors so it runs, but it doesn't run properly. It will randomly select a question but then it will glitch out and repeat right answer or wrong answer a few times until it settles on one. I can't figure out the problem. Sorry if I am unclear. The stuff above it is just the functions, it just says text with a graphic so I don't think the problem is to do with that.
int main ()

while (totalMoney <=800){

srand(time(0));
// the welcome screen and first question
showMenu();
// if over 8 questions are correct, it displays the final question
if (rightQuestion >=8){
finalQuestion();
sleep (5);
return 0;
}

First off, be sure to use code tags like this:
Now, aside form the fact that you're using plenty of unnecessary code and arrays of ints where bools would work better, you should really only seed the random number generator once at the start of the main. Seeding it more could cause the error you're having.

Please put in code tags if you want anyone to even start debugging that

If you want help debugging this, post something that is compilable and USE CODE TAGS.
