I just realized how broad that was. But literally, whenever I try and close the game. The whole thing freezes, and I lose all data. There was also some kind of red bar error.

Sounds like you're having some sort of data corruption occuring. I would export all your scripts to text then reimport them into a new session. zMUD used an in memory database for it's settings, and did not respond well to data corruption. You didn't mention you're OS so make sure that you have write permissions to the folder where you zMUD settings are stored.

I tried what you said, it worked for a little while, then on the third time I played, it reverted back to what it used to do. It freezes when I try and exit the trigger and aliases editing pop up box. Not sure why. I uninstalled and removed zmud from my computer, and reinstalled it, but it still has the same problem. Do you think its some of the data in my system?

very likely. ZMud stores your triggers, etc as plain text, so if the in-memory database gets screwed up it's going to write screwed-up data to the file. A sort of bright side to it is that the data IS stored as plain text so if you can still open up the settings files without zmud having a dramatic choking death when you do, you can just export each file to text, edit it for mistakes, and then import it into a fresh file.

Even that can be iffy at times, due to bugs and parser limitations, so it's best to import only a little at a time.
