Scratch is stuck. Please help.

I was putting a coordinate boolean for the position of the mouse in a proper placement in a sprite's if block, and now scratch is locked up. It's as if it's stuck trying to re-code my input but can't. There's an all black mouse cursor stuck in the position I left my actual mouse before it crashed. I have no clue how to fix this. It usually only lasts for about 2 seconds, but it's been about 10 minutes. I've put a lot of work into this project and if I close it I will lose a lot of data. Please help. What can I do to get it "un- stuck"?

Re: Scratch is stuck. Please help.

This probably just means that it ran out of memory. You have to kill the process and start Scratch again.

Force quit and restart Scratch.

Re: Scratch is stuck. Please help.

If you're using Windows, hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc, go to the processes tab, find Scratch.exe, and click "End process".

If on a Mac, hit Alt+Command+Esc, find Scratch, and force quit it.

Either way, you will lose work.

Re: Scratch is stuck. Please help.

This happens to me sometimes.... I force close using the method jvvg mentioned and reboot my computer.
