I can't interact with anything. I can't interact with creatures, or agents, or menus. I think it happened when the inseminator agent crashed. I would reinject it or just start a new world if I could, but I can't get the agent injector or any of the menus to open so I'm not really sure what to do.

Ho humm. If I were in that position, I would just use Ctrl + Alt + Delete, and then use our good friend task manager to brutally close the game. THEN, if it STILL did not work, I would just make a new account and play Creatures on that.

A whole new account? First try to make a new world or load a different world you didn't play after that happening.

I was referring to a new PC account. On my computer, some programs mysteriously refuse to work on some accounts, and must be used on others.

Nah, it's just a problem with that one agent. No need to do anything that drastic.

What about just closing the program and restarting it? What happens then? Is it still "stuck" when it starts up again or does it work as long as you stay out of the world this happened in?

Yeah, it's just that one particular world that's having the problem. If no one really knows what to do, does anyone have any idea on how to export my grendels from that world without using the in-game exporter?

I've managed to get some really cool colors and stuff.

You can use the ingame exporter.With Tab (some people don't know it, it is the button above Caps Lock) and Shift + Tab you can cycle though your creatures.
Control + - can export creatures in the most cases.

This might be a bit annoying, but you can rescue your creatures without hand.

I think after this post I gonna crack open the Inseminator and see if I can find out what it does to the hand to "freeze" it like that.

Looks like that worked Papriko. Thanks. I don't know 100% if it was he inseminator or if it was a coincidence.

Okay, I forgot to look up the inseminator, so I did it now. You can fix the world (in case you still have it) by using these lines of codes in the CAOS command line:
targ pntr pure 0
enum 1 1 64007 kill targ next

After this you should remove the Inseminator from the world in a proper way, say you go to the Creator Machine and remove it with the big fat red button.

After it you can decide yourself if you wanna reinject it again or not.
