Standalones won't launch

[Thomas McGrath III]

Dave,

I would check that your libraries are included in your build. One of  
the preferences for a build has a button to include libraries, if  
they are not present it can create a problem. That is why a simple  
stack works, it doesn't include anything from the libraries. The  
player usually took care of these.
