The Primitive Fail Error is back yet again!
Okay dokie, I posted this a while back, and I didn't really resolve the problem, nor do I feel like bumping the old topic, so bear with me.
I'm getting the PrimitiveFail error like this:
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/7907/primitivefail.png
And it's popping up yet again on my projects.
Basically, I have my project on an USB drive that's pretty reliable. There's Scratch installed on the computer at my school, so I use that for my project, and on my computer at home, which also has Scratch.
I think, somehow, for some reason, when I saved it into my drive today, and took it home, the project got corrupted, and I was unable to do anything with it, except for exporting sprites.
So can anyone tell me any possible reasons why it would be happening?
My theory is that the Scratch program at school is corrupted, but other students have used it, and it's working fine for them when they used it... so I'm not sure what the problem really is.
Any help will surely be appreciated...

What scripts are in Sprite15? If I knew what the scripts were, maybe I could help.
Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.

Re: The Primitive Fail Error is back yet again!
I can upload the project to MegaUpload (since it won't upload to Scratch) and show it to you, so you can pinpoint the error. But the error occurs mainly whenever I go to the Stage section.

Yeah, you should upload your file to a file hosting site to see if the problem occurs for others too and/or is related to the scripts inside.
Here's the project: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RE3FVXQQ
Iunno. Only thing is that it doesn't let you upload the project to the website, and that it's occurring quite a bit for me.
Hope someone can help me out~

Re: The Primitive Fail Error is back yet again!
I messed around a bit and the problem seems to be coming from the backgrounds, trying to look at them or change them instantly triggered it. Anyway, I didn't really know what to do, so I exported every sprite and script and imported them into another project which I've uploaded here. All you need to add is the backgrounds and it should work (hopefully). 
Try reinstalling Scratch first though, and if you can, get your school to reinstall it for you too. Also if the project I uploaded works, try importing one background image at a time and then running the project to see if it was any of the files that were causing the problem. Anyway, hopefully it should work.

I did notice it... Ergh. It does require me to reprogram all the scripts for the background... I'll see what happens with your suggestions then~
Thanks though! :3
