Re: Help! Memory problems!

It probably means that your computer doesn't have enough memory. Scratch is made using code from Squeak, but I'm no computer genius, try asking a member of the Scratch Team.

Usually you should just save the project, quit Scratch, then reopen the project. That's what I do...

Re: Help! Memory problems!

Sounds like you are running out of memory.  Shut down any other unneeded applications that you may be running at the same time.  Maybe try rebooting your computer, in case you have some dead application hogging a chunk of memory.  Consider buying more RAM.

Thank you for all your help! I fixed it  a while back! Is it possible to close the topic?
