Scratch crashes immediately
Hi guys,
I cannot make scratch even start! It dies immediately with a "Sorry but the VM has crashed". I tried on two different computers and also tried scratch 1.3.1 and always I get the same.
Do I need to download something else before?
Thx,

Re: Scratch crashes immediately
You shouldn't have to. 
This is after a successful install, correct? On what operating system and hardware are you attempting to run it?
This is also better suited to the Troubleshooting forum, so I've moved it there.

Re: Scratch crashes immediately
Hmm. There seems to be nothing wrong with your computer. Have you downloaded any programs with hacks in them or otherwise changed scratch through Shift-Click-R or VM modifications? Otherwise, you have me stumped on this one.
You might have to re-install Scratch.
Before you do that, you might want to download a files-only version, then see if that works. If so, you probably have to reinstall, unless you want to stay with the files-only.
If not, post here again. I'll try to see if JSO would know what to do.
To download files-only, go to this: Clicky

I tried again - no difference. I think you missed something: I never managed to run scratch, not even once. It crashes immediately when starting on a fresh install. On two different computers. Installer or files version. Version 1.3.1 as well.
