the spring dissapears as one of the ends is disconected somehow (maybe by deleting a geom wich is attached to the spring)
Go to script menu and put in the strength tab "+inf" (without the "")

//btw, this should be in the help section, not tutorials

this is the algodoo section, so it is kinda obvious :P

try the new beta, maybe it will help

(just remembering, spring strength should be left in slider values, as it is buggy when it is really powerfull, use more springs instead)

The value is +inf or n/a because the spring is attached to two geoms that are fixated together. delete the fixate, and the real strength should show, I think. If you delete a geom that the spring is connected to the spring will delete; if you set the length to -inf, this will also make the springs disappear.
