Can you give a little more detail?
What is the error?
What do you have the hotspot doing?

try changing it so it doesn't do that when you test it.

the message is an error has occurred please contact the game author for support as this is likely to be a scripting error and not a bug :-\

At a guess, the message number is invalid? Or the message might contain high ASCII characters (i.e. accented e, stuff like that)

Yeah, don't use characters with ASCII code>127.

Try workarounding it by choosing a Run script action instead of display a message. Then click the Edit script... button and put the following code:

Display("hotspot description here or whatever");
