When I try to open the jit.qt.grab object i get an error saying "cannot allocate object" The helpfile still works and can be accessed from the jit.qt.grab object (although it's greyed out and doesn't have inlets or outlets) and I can still find the object on my computer. What's going on and how do i fix it?

sounds like you are on windows? you need dx.grab or whatever. if you are on mac, my apologies for this useless post.

mac unfortunately. I would have loved it if you were right...

Jit.gt.grab cannot be allocated.
