Hi Bob, Keep your hair on :-) I don't have a solution but I have a few ideas you could try.
1. Sprinkle your scripts with "answer" commands to show you where you get to before it crashes. 2. Are you compiling into a single file or separate stack files? If the files are separate, then each file is it's own "mainStack" which may be causing a few problems. 3. If you are using lots of graphics, does your app have enough memory allocated?
