Re: fatal exception occurred

Could you post more information about your system: browser version, OS version, Java version, hardware of your machine (including graphics card). Also, could you post the output of the Java console?

Re: fatal exception occurred

I have also had issues with the Java version using up all virtual memory, until the windows slows and reports that all virtual memory is used and that it is going to increase swapfile size to cope...

Hi bobbyiscool -
Sorry to hear you are having troubles.

What are you doing when you get the error message?  Are you running the Scratch program?  Doing something on the web site?  Trying to save the file?

Is the error message the "fatal exception"?  or is it saying something else?

Is this a Mac or a PC?
