alice-teacher Application not configured correctly

[Don Slater]

There have been several comments lately regarding Alice's inability to load or run correctly on some machine configurations.

We have been finding that these problems seem to be related to the release of Alice 2.2 dated 9/10/2010. 

If you are experiencing these difficulties, right now we suggest that you try the previous release, dated 8/01/09. You can find this release on the Alice Downloads page for version 2.2, at the link "Previous Releases". This release seems to not have the same difficulties.

There actually is very little difference in the feature set of these two releases.

Please let us know if you continue to have problems with this older release.

Thank you for your patience,

I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

I've reloaded 3 or 4 times a couple of different ways ( from our server and again from the website download directly).  IT will launch if I go to the 'If Alice Fails Try This' but can I use that as a long term solution for these 2 computers?  We are running XP.  I've posted this to the forum and didn't get much response other than making the desktop shortcut point to the 'If Alice Fails" executable, which I guess I can do but I didn't think I should do that regularly.
