Hi Loadman
I have to second the others sentiments about the work you've done on Mala, it's a very slick application!
This particular issue is very strange.
I'm getting the more verbose log now, but basically the same error.
Here's the log (whole thing, I cleared it and then ran the prog.)

Notice the Not enough storage error right after trying to show the main form.
The error "could" be related to my layout, but again, if I shut down all other programs, I can usually get it to run.
I'm not using any videos at this point, just static JPGs and PNG's in my layout.
