Scratch Has Stopped Working

Okay, this is probably my fault... So I'm sorry...

But basically, I was playing around with mesh and stuff, and when I was done I turned fill screen off. But when I came back on fill screen was still there and the project I had open when I closed it was also still there.

However before opening Scratch it said this:

Squeak cannot locate the sources file named C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Scratch\V2.sources.

Please check that the file is named properly and is in the same directory as this image. Further explanation can be found in the startup window, 'How Squeak Finds Source Code'.

I clicked okay and it brought up another message:

Squeak cannot locate the changes file named Scratch.changes.

Please check that the file is named properly and is in the same directory as this image. Further explanation can be found in the startup window, 'How Squeak Finds Source Code'.

I clicked okay and Scratch opened with the project that I had last time I exited Scratch.

I tried reinstalling it but exactly the same thing happened. I use Windows 7, and I have Scratch 1.4.

What's wrong?

Thanks,

Try reversing your edits and stuff.  hmm

Re: Scratch Has Stopped Working

Did you try a clean install (uninstalling and then reinstalling)?

Wait - that'll lose your Scratch projects, won't it...  hmm

It never does for me, because I don't use a default folder.


Move your projects out of the Scratch Projects folder and you'll be fine, always worked for me.

Okay then, I'll try that!

Thank you all of you for your help...

Re: Scratch Has Stopped Working

Install the source code and then move the files to the dir in the error message.

Re: Scratch Has Stopped Working

I fixed it!

What I had to do was shift click on the R and then click "Save image for end-user"... This means that whatever I have on the screen now will appear every time I start Scratch. I clicked it while I had the normal screen that Scratch starts with open. I must have accidentally clicked this before!

Thanks to everyone who tried to help!  smile
