My program locks up.......

I am writing a simple name game that shows the user a picture. The user
selects a radio button that corresponds to the pictures name and then
clicks the submit button. If the answer is correct 20 points is added
to the score and if the score is less than 100 and less than 7 photos
have been shown the game continues. Thei is a counter that keeps tracks
of how many pictures have been shown. Only 7 photos are allowed to be
shown. 100 points wins the game. So as you see the goal is to get 100
points before 7 photos are shown, each correct answer is worth 20
points. OK that out of the way here is my problem. When the user has
80 points and 6 pictures have been shown and you click the submit
button and get it right then the game hangs. It is as if it is thinking
"What do I do, the user has 100 points so he wins but he has been shown
7 photos so he loses. Here is my code. I know some of you guys hate it
when someone pastes a crap load of code in thses posts but the only way
anyone can help is if they see it all. Yes I am a newbie and yes this
is a school project and finally yes it would be awesome if anyone with
their vast knowledge could solve this riddle. Here is the code:

Hi Michael,

You made a nice message, however checking your whole program is only done by
the persons who are really interested in your problem.

Try to make a piece from the part where it goes wrong. Or a sample with only
2 pictures by instance.

points. OK that out of the way here is my problem. When the user has
80 points and 6 pictures have been shown and you click the submit
button and get it right then the game hangs. It is as if it is thinking
"What do I do, the user has 100 points so he wins but he has been shown

Have you stepped through the code with the debugger to see what execution
path it takes when you submit the last answer?
