I've been unable to test the crash course kit on different PC, windows 8 machines due to some Java language issues. And then I tried to test the platformer game from here:
http://www.stencyl.com/developers/samples/ and when I tried to test that, I still couldn't and so I've attached the error logs as a zip file with this post.
Below are the details that showed up on the error dialog box: Unexpected problem on thread AWT-EventQueue-0: java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException
