Projects a little glitchy with Windows 7

On Windows XP projects never messed up like this. Now that I got Windows 7, the character in games go out of the screen, and the project window randomly moves around and stamps on the screen. Any idea why this is happening?


I'm graduating HS this April and going to college in the Fall.

Well, if this isn't an April Fools joke then I suggest going back too Windows XP. I tried Windows 7 Ultimate, went back to XP the same day. It's still too new and has to much glitches. It's just a Vista with eyecandy to make up for with a horrible operating system.

to the last line: really. sorry, but do know anything about operating systems? (other than glitching)

Actually I do, thank you for asking. But, I am not proud of it. And, I actually meant "eyecandy" in the end.

To Steppenwulf:
Switch back to Windows XP if you can. Until Windows 7 gets a SP1 update, it is going to be pretty glitchy.

Are you having troubles when you are viewing projects online in a browser?  Or when you are running projects in Scratch?  Did you upgrade the browser at the same time as the operating system?

So that's the problem. Which browser are you using? I personally recommend Mozilla Firefox.

I know so, but I asked what Internet Browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera) and what version of Java do you have.

Oops, sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I'm using Internet Explorer, but i don't know how to check my Java version. BTW thanks for the quick reply and help.

Re: Projects a little glitchy with Windows 7

What exactly is to be done to solve this stamping problem? I switched to Windows 7 with Mozilla Firefox recently, and this stamping is somewhat annoying.

Re: Projects a little glitchy with Windows 7

Just switch back to XP; some people have non-XP compatible projects yet many XP users have the projects.
