dont go dell they suck mac all the way

Dell products are no longer high quality as they (arguably) used to be, but apple products never were. A mac is more likely to fail, and it will be weaker for a higher price.

Can you open up chkdsk or diskdefragmenter? To do this, go to the startmenu -> run -> chkdisk. To get to disk defrag, go to the start menu -> In the search bar, type disk defrag, and click Disk Defragmenter when it shows up in the list of possible programs for which you are searching.

Or, boot into safe-mode if that doesn't work, and back up all your data. If the hard drive does show up to have a lot of errors, you can easily replace it by going to Best Buy or Microcenter and buying a new hard drive. You could also have the people there replace it, but that will cost a lot of money.

If the hard drive is not the issue, you should probably take it to professionals. They'll be able to run more diagnostics and do a better job than you can probably do in your home.

Try booting into safe mode to see if it can access programs and files. If it can, try and use a system restore.

Back up all your data and reinstall your operating system. If you're on Windows, install a copy of Linux, then install Windows again. That makes sure all your old system files are gone. Or you might like Linux and stick with it.

If you're having trouble obtaining a copy of Snowleapord, you could try downloading it for free. If you're in the U.S., you can't go to jail for it on your first offense, nor even fined.

The performance of pirated copies of software will often times be much worse than a legal copy.

Just to clarify, donations on kongregate have recently been removed. They were called "tips" and used "kreds." You can still have in-game currency that can be purchased for kreds, but stencyl doesn't have very much support for that right now.

All art programs have a steep learning curve for me.

You can also get Maya for free if you're a student, or you pretend to be a student. I think it has an even steeper learning curve than Blender.

Do all of them. You'd get 35% from Kongregate unless they sponsored you.

Your link says that using common sense, something must have created the universe, which is clearly Allah.

Who created Allah? Let's use common sense to figure that out. Or, if no one created him, we can apply that "common sense" to the existence of the universe.

Apple has too much money. They are an evil company. They are the new M$, except they charge even higher prices.

No, brethren. I say, down with the high prices! Down with the monopolies! Comrades, we will tear down the barriers that separate the Poor from the Rich. The Middle from the Low. The High from the Middle. We shall all be One, and tear down these big businesses!

We don't want to let Apple make more money. We want them to make less money.

Exporting as a game in javascript, to the best of my knowledge, would run significantly better than running in Flash. However, I do not know about any compatibility issues, and I'm confident that the nice Stencyl team has considered this idea already.
