> Ok, so I downloaded pharo0.1-10324web09.06.1 and the win vm (I  
> generally run on a linux box but today I happen to be on a win xp 32-
> bit one -HP 530 notebook, 2GB ram 1.6 processor-). After extracting  
> the files and associating .image with Squeak.exe I tried a first  
> run. Starting the image would give the error attached in the  
> screenshot. I tried moving the image to be in the same folder as the  
> VM with no luck.
> The second I thing I noticed is that the image is extremly slow;  
> open up a bowser takes about 6 seconds, a workspace around 3.  
> Evaluating 2+2 in the workspace takes about 2 seconds, although  
> doing a Time millisecondsToRun: [2+2] yields 0 (yet that expression  
> also takes about 2 seconds). Browsing classes is yet a harder task  
> since each change in the browser (package, class, category, etc)  
> takes between 2 and 5 seconds.
> If there is anything I can do to give you more information just let  
> me know.
