Error with creating a new game

[cerealspearmints]

I can load the demo game and other games with AGS, but I can't create a new one.

Here's everything I did and the error message associated with my problem:

Ran agsedit.exe
The welcome box appears. I select "Start a new game", and click "OK".
At the "Create New Game" box, I enter a folder name "Mine", and click the "Blank Game" template and then click "Next >>".
A progress bar appears briefly and then is replaced by an error message:

"
We're sorry, the AGS editor has encountered a serious error and must shut down. You will have lost any changes made since you last saved your
game.

(Exception 0xC0000005 at EIP=0x00468DD7, AGSE
v2.56.413)
"

After pushng the "Close" button, the program crashes back to the desktop.

It does create a new folder called "Mine" and makes a "Compiled" directory, ac2game.dta, acsprset.spr, and editor.dat file within; but the ac2game.dta can be run under AGS because it recieves the same error message.

My system is a Pentium 4, 1.5Ghz running Windows XP with 256MB RAM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try reinstalling the newest version. That's all I can say.

And maybe one of the tech gurus can figure out what the error message actually means.

You mean CJ?

I believe those error come up when you screw something up, like delete the spriteset and try to view the Views... Which causes a load of error messages, and, somekind of memory filling or something?

There're lots of possible causes for crashes, most of the time they're careless mistakes (like assigning/comparing a string with =, ==, etc.), sometimes, it can be some incapatibility with some specific computer configurations.

However, no one other than Pumaman would know what these error messages really mean, so we better wait for him to reply.

Well, I thought a few of you knew...oh well. CJ is the mite-ey kree-ay-tohr.

  Well I managed to fix the problem. I think my computer was just having a bad day yesterday, and it didn't feel like extracting the zipped files properly...

Anywhoo, I redownloaded AGS and tried a few more times and finally got it to work.

Thanks for your assistance, though.
