Yep, that's what I'm saying.  And it doesn't appear on the desktop!  I'll try downloading it with IE.

Re: Help downloading!

It also might matter which version of IE you're running... You can try downloading the latest version of IE; IE 8 or you can try Firefox  hmm
Hope this helps...

Re: Help downloading!

I AM using Firefox.  And I tried IE six or seven.  I doubt 8 will work.  Thanks for your help, though!  And I restarted my comp to no avail.  Sorry.   sad

C:\Documents and Settings\(User)\Local Settings\Temp
Go there and when you download select the circle (o) Save File and that should save it on your desktop.

Re: Help downloading!

yikes   big_smile  Thanks for all the info, but I don't know there must be a problem with scratch running on netbooks because I have the most piece of junk 18GB hard drive Win Xp laptop you ever did see that runs scratch perfect. I'd click the contact us at the bottom of this page to cantact scratch with your problem or see if other netbook users are having the same problem...  hmm

Re: Help downloading!

Ok you don't have to pester scratch, but find out if other netbook users are having the same problem. To do that I would start a new post called like Netbook users Help! so you can attract other netbook users and find out if they're having that problem too... Then If the problem is big enough scratch will look into fixing it...
it is up to you...   hmm   smile
