Laurie,
Could you tell us something about your machines? PC / Mac / Linux? Version of the OS? If these are PC, did you try and use Slow and Steady Alice, which comes with the PC download?

Is this error repeatable? In other words, do you have specific worlds in which the same error always happens at the same place? If so, could you send us the world with the error message? If it seems more random, could you try and get a screen capture video of the running world with the error, and then send us the world and the screen capture so we can see what is going on?

Thank you,
Don Slater

The error message isn't really clear, it just says "error occurred"  or sometimes "error occurred while Stopping". Sometimes the screen turns black, but it is all there.
