alice-teacher unexpected shutdown of Alice 3.1 on laptop

[Patricia Lapczynski rsm]

Hello

One of my students has successfully installed Alice 3.1 the current build on her computer, she also has Java 8 with netbeans installed.  I can usually fix problems with Alice for my students (normally they forget to install Java etc.. ) but this one has me puzzled.



She is in the middle of adding objects to a scene and Alice unexpectedly (seems to be randomly) shuts down.  It just does what I call " a graceful close " - no error messages nothing.



The program opens up fine and I too have tried from scratch adding objects  sometimes it is on the first object sometimes the third, sometimes later as she is moving an object.



It is a notebook computer.

Here are the specs.



Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
RAM: 4.00 GB
Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4500 @ 2.30GHz

System Type: 64-bit Operating System
Display Adapter: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
