Scratch Won't open downloaded files

I have windows vista wit scratch 1.2.1, Netscratch, Scratch with Cloning, Scratch 1.3 and Scratch 1.4 beta.
Downloading files of the internet will ask me for the image file.
I know how to get to this, but when I select scratch.image, It opens as a blank project.
Please, please help me...I really want to download files again!
P.S- vista is set to open projects in scratch 1.4

Woo, even better minecraft clone! | I feel that programming is better than animation, because you can interact with games but not animations.

Re: Scratch Won't open downloaded files

Yeah, on some computers you can't download files onto Scratch.  I guess you might as well try to uninstall and reinstall, kind of like unplugging and plugging back in.  It usually works.

Do I have to do it with all of my different scratch versions?

But i like netscratch because it allows me to make projects that connect to the internet,
and jens's lists and files for scratch actually allows you to save to the computer, so i want that,
and copy & delete for scratch allows you to delete sprites from within a game, so i want that,
and BYOB allows you to make slow scripts run super fast, so i want that.

Other than that  I have uninstalled 1.2.1, and 1.3.1, and 1.4 RC, and installed the proper 1.4.

Re: Scratch Won't open downloaded files

If you have multiple image files in scratch directory, it will ask for image file, and then forget what to do. It's because Scratch installer associates .sb files with Scratch.exe only. You just have to select an image file, then drag .sb file onto opened Scratch window.
