Re: Saving and reading problems
That message usually means that you closed Scratch before it finished saving the file. I'm sorry to say that I don't know of any way to recover from that error.

Re: Saving and reading problems
You should always make sure that it is full saved before you exit, especially on a PC. How I do this, is I first click "Save," then click "New." If it opens a new one, it was saved correctly, else, the message to save will appear, and you can do so.
You could try dismantling the hard drive and/or getting a technician to try to see if it can be recovered if you lost a lot of work.
