Stencyl requires an internet connection or freezes

I use my desktop computer for any sort of development. It doesn't have an internet connection since the network adapter was recently fried. So I download Stencyl on my laptop. It runs perfectly fine on the laptop. I transfer it to my desktop, and it has issues. First, on the desktop, the program does open, but it doesn't load any of the sample games. Also, after clicking the button to create a new game, I see the "Saving..." message, but that message never disappears, and nothing happens after that. It doesn't exactly "freeze", since I can close the program, but I can't do anything useful with it either. It's impossible to create a new game. There's nothing wrong with the desktop computer besides the lack of an internet connection. The desktop is actually new. Windows 7 64. Ran program as administrator and all that. Will you make it so you don't need an internet connection to use this?

Hmm. I am not sure this will work since you can not download stencyl to install.

You need to zip the Stencyl exe and copy this entire zip to new computer.

After installing, besides locating Stencyl under Program Files, you should also see a Stencyl folder under <user name>/AppData/Roaming in new computer. This is where all the games are located.
