Scratch

How big is your project? 

Something like this?

Warning! Squeak is almost out of memory!

Low space detection is now disabled. It will be restored when you close or proceed from this error notifier. Don't panic, but do proceed with caution.

Here are some suggestions:

If you suspect an infinite recursion (the same methods calling each other again and again), then close this debugger, and fix the problem.

If you want this computation to finish, then make more space available (read on) and choose "proceed" in this debugger. Here are some ways to make more space available...
   > Close any windows that are not needed.
   > Get rid of some large objects (e.g., images).
   > Leave this window on the screen, choose "save as..." from the screen menu, quit, restart the Squeak VM with a larger memory allocation, then restart the image you just saved, and choose "proceed" in this window.

If you want to investigate further, choose "debug" in this window.  Do not use the debugger "fullStack" command unless you are certain that the stack is not very deep. (Trying to show the full stack will definitely use up all remaining memory if the low-space problem is caused by an infinite recursion!).

You can actually just do what it says (the bolded part).

Yeah but then i can't make any of my projects, coz it won't let me import anything even costumes from scratch. I think i will try and re-download scratch

I've had that problem before, I just don't use scratch for a day

So you can't import sprites from the Scratch media library into a new empty project 

That seems almost impossible...

Well it's happening to me, i tried to import a costume but as soon as i pressed import, the icon popped up and my whole computer froze.

hmmm.

Are you running as an administrator?

Try to *drag* an image directly into Scratch and see what happens.

I think that might work! My computer scans for virus and only recently a virus popped up but it won't let me delete it! I think it is a Trojan virus, not sure.

I have just made a project I want to post soon but a little icon appeared and said something about Space is Low and it shut don't Scratch... what on earth happen? I tried again and the same thing happened. How do I fix it?

Uninstall and reinstall Scratch!

I have also just suffered this issue on a 268,738kb project, LOZ Forward Sword. What should I do? I can't even open the program to remove content. It has to be this huge for all the content, mainly MP3 music from LOZ OOT.
