Re: VM error?

looks like either A or B
-----------------
A: Delete scratch, then redownload it
Reason: Well, it's a virtual machine error (lol)

B: search up the error code
Reason: Lol, people normally have the same error  wink

Re: VM error?

Well, was the sound extremely big? If so, it's just crashed Scratch basically, it couldn't handle something that big...

If it wasn't a particularly big file, maybe you had lots of programs open in the background, and this song just tipped your VM over the edge?

Also, I don't think re-downloading Scratch will do much good, it's not Scratch that's necessarily the problem, I'm 97% certain it's other stuff...

PS. You only need to redownload the Scratch.app or Scratch.exe, depending on the OS you're on. Everything else can stay.  smile
