Hi Andreas, Thank you for responding.
Here's what I just did to try to figure it out: I deleted my old log. I restarted my computer. I opened my image at 4:14 I opened the browser At 4:16 I got the emergency evaluator. Here is the new dump: Error: Error: a primitive has failed 31 October 2009 4:16:10 pm VM: Win32 - a SmalltalkImage Image: Squeak3.10.2 [latest update: #7179] SecurityManager state: Restricted: false FileAccess: true SocketAccess: true Working Dir C:\Users\Christine\Documents\01OhioU\01EDCT\EDCT 793C Fall 09\Squeak\Squeak3.10.2-7179 Trusted Dir C:\Users\Christine\Documents\01OhioU\01EDCT\EDCT 793C Fall 09\Squeak\Squeak3.10.2-7179\Christine Untrusted Dir C:\My Squeak\Christine BalloonEngine(Object)>>error: Receiver: a BalloonEngine Arguments and temporary variables: aString: 'Error: a primitive has failed' Receiver's instance variables: workBuffer: a BalloonBuffer span: a Bitmap of length 2048 bitBlt: a GrafPort forms: #() clipRect: 0...@1073772165 corner: 3...@1010 destOffset: 0...@0 externals: an OrderedCollection() aaLevel: 1 edgeTransform: nil colorTransform: nil deferred: false postFlushNeeded: nil [] in WorldState>>displayWorldSafely: {[:err :rcvr | errCtx := thisContext.

Has anyone else had this trouble? The error message at > the top of the Emergency Evaluator stack is: "Error: a primitive has > failed." Interesting. Do you get a SqueakDebug.log when this happens? Usually, the emergency evaluator pops up when there is an error inside the error handling but there is a chance that the SqueakDebug.log has already been written at this point. If you can find it, please send it.
