Probably because the path in the script is no longer valid or the file
that Scala is requesting no longer exists in the directory or the name
of the file has been changed.

Make a copy of the script and run it through the "FixScript" utility.  See
if that works.

Check to see how much Chip RAM you have left, after loading MM.  Go to the
"System" menu and check the amount of free Chip RAM in the "System
Information" window.  In a standard AmigaDOS 3.0 or 3.1 installation, you
should have approximately 1.8 MB free.

If you have less than 1 MB free, then you need to shutdown or minimize
apps, commodities or other utilities, in order to free up more Chip RAM.
Programs like "Magic User Interface" and "Magic Workbench" are
especially Chip RAM demanding.

Make sure that you have the PAL or NTSC monitor type installed in the
Devs/Monitors drawer.

Also check to see which version of SetPatch you are using.  If you have
AmigaDOS 3.0, it should be V39.6.  If you have AmigaDOS 3.1, it should
be V40.16.  A combination of KickStart 3.0 and AmigaDOS 3.1 is very
unstable in general and usually fatal when used with our software.  Either
upgrade the Kickstart to 3.1 or downgrade the OS to 3.0.

To save Chip RAM from within MM, turn *OFF* the Scala Shuffler (including
the File Shuffler) and Turn *ON* "Close Workbench" and "Close ScalaMenus".

Hope this helps.
