I'm a software developer looking to get involved in the programming/scripting of an adventure game project on my off-hours.

I'm inclined to repost this in the Advanced forum.  Does that seem reasonable?

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing.  This tells me that it has something to do with my environment, but I'm not sure what exactly.  I thought it might be my version of the .net framework, but I'm up to date on that and I'm still seeing the crash.

I have uploaded my project to DropBox as a .tar archive.  Let me know if the link doesn't work for you.  Thanks for helping me out:

It is indeed acceptable.  I ll put it up on Monday and post a link.  To be clear, though, I just started this project and haven't added any scripts yet.  AGS crashes for me when I try to edit any script.  I figured it might be related to some odd setup in my OS environment.  Nevertheless, I'll put the project up shortly.  Thanks.

I'm going through one of the tutorials, and am at the point where I'm trying to open a script for a hotspot.  AGS becomes non-responsive for a minute or two, and then gives back an error dialog:

I am using 64-bit Windows 7, AGS 3.2.1.  I encounter the same issue when opening scripts in any other context.  Has anyone encountered this before?
