Please, please use pastebin, because this code is telling me nothing without line numbers

Thanks, I'll see if I can see what is wrong

Is the file on pastebin this file: auth.eapp?

  local event, button, xPos, yPos = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")

  if xPos > 1 and xPos < 5 and yPos == 1 then --#line 173
  settings()
end

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

Everything seems allright. What I can tell you is that one of the Pos variable = nil.

This line would error if a mouse_click event was generated without parameters, but this is (normally) impossible. A program or function could use os.queueEvent to produce such an error, but I don't see why one would.

Alternatively, if this line:

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

…was run at any point before, the event returned could be a 'terminate' event, which doesn't have parameters (eg. both xPos and yPos would be nil). A terminate event is fired when control + t is held down for an extended period of time.

Yes, but if os.pullEvent was set to os.pullEventRaw, terminate events could be returned. os.pullEvent normally filters terminate events and errors appropriately

from bios.lua

function os.pullEventRaw( sFilter )
	return coroutine.yield( sFilter )
end

function os.pullEvent( sFilter )
	local eventData = { os.pullEventRaw( sFilter ) }
	if eventData[1] == "terminate" then
		error( "Terminated", 0 )
	end
	return table.unpack( eventData )
end

Not if a filter is given, which there is. That would only happen if no filter was given or if the filter was "terminate".

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

local oldPull = os.pullEvent --#Just for if when you DO close, you can reset os.pullEvent
os.pullEvent = function(sFilter)
  local eventData = { os.pullEventRaw( sFilter) }
  if eventData[1 == "terminate" then
    --#Do nothing!
  else
    return unpack(eventData)
  end
end

local event,param1,param2,param3 = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")
if event == "mouse_click" then
  --# Do the stuffs
end
