Has C2 ever worked?

This is most likely due to graphics drivers or the Mac implementation of Windows 7 - I don't see how this can be construed as a Construct 2 bug, unfortunately.

C2 worked the last time I tried using it, which was a few months ago (before the 221 update).

Thing is, my graphics drivers and version of Parallels were exactly the same the last time I successfully used Construct. Which could be the explanation, except for that backdating the Construct 2 version doesn't fix the problem.

Sorry, there's nothing particularly useful in that crash report, so there's nothing much we can do about this.

Often issues can be caused by the VM, particularly around graphics drivers, so I'm afraid all I can recommend is trying to update the VM or maybe the version of Windows inside the VM.

Ashley, bump. have same issue on new PC. Win 7 x64, latest graphic drivers, latest Java, .Net 4.5.2. Crashing on clicking "File" in top menu, or "Customize quick access bar". Tabs (Home, View etc) - working. Even right clicking on "properties" menu (on left side) - crashing.

— - sorry, still nothing we can do without a full report with steps to reproduce, but even so, sounds very much like a graphics driver problem.

I recently managed to fix this problem by updating everything in the Windows update. I also reinstalled Parallels Tools, but the wording of your issue implies that you aren't using Parallels? Anyway, try Windows update.
