Throw all the comments you want, Norton will fix any virus. They are like in a version 6.0 I believe. Norton 360 also enhances pc performance. We had this Dell inspiron with 360 on it, and until my sister locked it, it did not have a single virus at all.

Back on topic?

Try ending the file name with an extension like ".bmp" or ".png". Maybe, for some reason, it didn't attempt to save with any extension. However, you can save lists without an extension, but that's probably a different way Scratch handles it. Anyway, like you said, if you're saving with a file name like "a" or "b", you could name it "a.bmp" or "b.png", or vise versa.

Other things I'd try to avoid is short file names (like one letter). I don't really know if it could maybe be too short, and that's what's causing it not to work.

Also, I'd make sure the file path isn't too long. I'm the kind of person who uses my desktop as my own virtual junkyard. When files start to fill up more and more of the desktop, I just create a new folder and stash everything filling up the desktop in there. Sometime a long way down the road the file path is going to get too big, like on my old computer where if my filename was just too long it wouldn't work. So if you're like me and do that (or even in your My Documents folder, or whatever folder), and it turns out the file path is too big, causing it to throw an unknown file name error at you, either shorten your folder names or clear that crapola away! If all else fails, you could have a short file name, but not too short. Again, I don't think it really matters how long your file name is, except if it's too big.

(BTW these are for Windows. I don't use anything else, so I can't help you there.)

So try these. Please. It took me a while to type this just to *try* to help you. Lol.
