Try saving to the desktop then moving the file to your flash drive.

I think I found a solution!  big_smile 
Download the file WIN.SCRATCH1.4.ZIP onto your flashdrive then it will save to your desktop and you can then move it to your flash drive.

I know this is a lot of time to get this work for me and everyone out on the web to figure out how to save projects.

Also, you will need the patch file scratchthumbs.bs file in the folder scratch!

Oh wait!I solved it!Make sure that the name of the project isn't like 'LOLWUT!?',I solved it by making it so theres only one capital and removed the question mark.If that doesn't work,than it must have something differant than how it happened on my PC.
