Scratch out of memory - Can't load

I got a very sad, but critical problem right now.

I had just finished my scratch projekt (Metal slug) and hit the save button.
After a few seconds later, the program freezed, which mean that i had to force close scratch...

When i opened it again i got this error
"Warning! SQUEAK IS ALMOST OUT OF MEMORY!
And this happens every time i open the project now, so i can't get access to my project.

I have tried to close every programs that are running, but with no luck

I really don't know what to do, and if somebody can help me out please do so.

My specs is

OS: Windows 7 64-bit
CPU: Intel core I7 720-QM
RAM: 12 GB RAM
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5650

Re: Scratch out of memory - Can't load

By the way,

My project size is 231 MB
And before my last save, my previous save was about 10 mins before the save that crashed.

Which mean i could run the project.

What i did before my last save, was

: Writing project notes
: Ran the project until my intro screen popped up, and stopped the project (So i can save the thumpnail, when uploading)
: Save the project
:Crash


And when i reload the projekt, scratch do load the project to 100 % but right before anything shows up the error message shows up...

Your project is absolutely gigantic.  That's what's causing it.

Re: Scratch out of memory - Can't load

I do have a backup which is 210 MB,
which i can load without any problems, so i cant really see why it should give me this error.

Squeak is out of memory because your project is far too large.
The upload limit is 10MB.
Try compressing your sounds and images.

- Strange,, As said, I can still run the 210 MB version?
- Yes it does. Not only one but a few, think it was 3.
- And alot of sound FX
- 38 sprites
- 17 variables
- Lots of scripts (don't worry, they are not running all at once)

And this was only the backed up version, which didn't have the menu.

-Upload limit is not a probem (its a school project, so i will likely only show it on my scratch client, but thanks for the info though.

-I would to like to but nothing shows up when "loaded" besides the error message

Open your backup version, and export your sounds and images.
Resize your sounds and images in another program.
Import them back.
