Closing, I'm afraid we can't help support issues with third party plugins. This type of error is always caused by third party plugins changing their code in a backwards-incompatible way - make sure you use the right versions of the plugins.

This does sound like a Vista-specific issue, but I think the problem is either with or caused by a third party tool (either PNGOut, the java thing, or Steam). I've noticed there's a new version of PNGOut available; I'll update it for the next build, and hopefully that will resolve it.

I might mention... if you upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 you also get automatic AAC encoding when you import audio. Might be worth considering :P

The Steam version is almost identical to the desktop version, but with small tweaks (such as using Steam for authentication instead of a standalone license). So it's odd that having Steam running would cause all these issues. It might be an issue in Steam itself... or possibly failing hardware if your computer's very old.

Support is very much experimental and a work in progress. We're still making updates and changes to the SCML importer in Construct 2 as BrashMonkey continue to work on Spriter.

Have you tried the latest beta? We added support for features that would previously crash the importer.

Are you sure you need that 'For each'? Most events work for each instance automatically.

Construct 2 doesn't write logs. Are you sure your computer is configured correctly and you don't have some exotic settings/software that's breaking it? The Java issue sounds totally unrelated, as does the preview issue, so it sounds like lots of random stuff is breaking that AFAIK is working fine for the vast majority of users.

If you don't know how to set up MIME types yourself, you need to contact your server host or administrator and ask them to do it.

Oh I see now - it only happens with fonts with a space in the name (in this case "Comic Sans MS"). Thanks, should be fixed in the next build.

Hmm... but what should happen if the frames aren't all the same size? Should it use the absolute position of the selection, or scale it to the size of the frame? I'm not sure it's wise to implement this if it's not clear what it will do.

(Note shift+crop works when you have no selection to trim the edges off all frames, so this is more of a feature request for shift+crop when you have a selection)

If it works in IE10 and Chrome it suggests it's a bug in Firefox. It's a difficult issue to debug, I'll see if I can get anywhere with it... if you can make a simpler example that might help too.
