These fixes are for the desktop pet, not for a mouse that double-clicks by itself and not for insect sounds. Four problems have their own pages because people search them as a full question. The shorter ones stay on this page.
- A .cvclk will not load — zip still wrapped, wrong extension, device lock, or an old app.
- No idle lines — the rate, empty text, or a hidden bubble.
- No sound, or it ignores music — click effects versus the volume reaction.
- Black window or it closes — graphics acceleration and the first-launch wait.
The character is gone
The tray can gather every character back into one spot. v1.19.0 also calls out the pin-on-top control and the show-parts control when a pet is on screen but looks missing. Check those before you reimport.
Back hair does not move
Hair in the back is a layer. Open the part list, look at layer order, and check the reverse-swing switch. A layer under the body will not read as motion even when the number is high.
Start with Windows or the Mac
The tray menu has an item for launching together with the computer. That is the whole public description. There is no separate task-scheduler walkthrough.
When none of that helps
Settings, Reactions, then the button that builds a problem-report archive. The guide says the archive holds the version, Windows details, an error log, how many characters you have, and memory use. It does not hold pictures or lines. Send it with the developer’s form. The browser “keep this file” and SmartScreen “More info, Run anyway” path is written on the Windows download page.
Questions
Is there a public error-code list?
No. The guide’s path is the report archive and the form, not a numbered code.
The download itself is blocked. Is that this page?
Use the Windows install page for the browser keep prompt and SmartScreen.
