Smalltalk

Hello /prog/.
My Algorigthms 3 class requires me to use Pharo. The teacher is not an expert with that IDE.
I've dowloaded it but I can't get it to run; it crashes after I select an image. It's not a problem with the image or the executable: I copied them to a similar machine and it ran perfectly.
I'm using Windows XP SP3.

Google won't tell me where to find tech support. And I have a project due this wednesday. Halp pleas

Smalltalk was the product of research led by Alan Kay at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC); Alan Kay designed most of the early Smalltalk versions, which Dan Ingalls implemented. The first version, known as Smalltalk-71, was created by Ingalls in a few mornings on a bet that a programming language based on the idea of message passing inspired by Simula could be implemented in "a page of code."[1]

John Shoch, a member of the LRG at PARC, acknowledged in his 1979 paper Smalltalk's debt to Plato's theory of forms in which an ideal archetype becomes the template from which other objects are derived.[8]

Plato's theory of Forms or theory of Ideas[1][2][3] asserts that non-material abstract (but substantial) forms (or ideas), and not the material world of change known to us through sensation, possess the highest and most fundamental kind of reality.[4]
