Kesuli's projects are corrupted.
When I try to download and view Kesuli's projects, specifically Windown XD Prosuckional and Button Seek, I get error messages while it reads them:
1. On Windown XD, I get Scratch saying: "Key Not Found"
2. On Button Seek, I get a pink Squeak Message saying the program's memory to too low to continue loading the project and wanted a bigger "memory partition". I have 4 GB of RAM that was 32% used at the time. Scratch used only a mild fraction of used memory.
When I load other projects not made my Kesuli, it loads like my projects: perfectly. It only fills up with errors when the projects are made by Kesuli. What's going on?

Re: Kesuli's projects are corrupted.
My guess is that it's a problem with your computer... If nobody else is experiencing the same problems, then it's probably just your computer. Are you sure you're running the latest version of Scratch (1.4)?

Re: Kesuli's projects are corrupted.
Yes. I can play them online but downloading them just angers the Scratch program for some reason. Also, Java clears its file cache after every PC Boot so I have to wait for it to load again, which takes about a hour. 
Has anyone tried to open his projects lately? Can they be sent by ZIP archives and see if that fixes the error?

An hour? You must have a pretty slow computer. Sounds like time for a new one!
I just did; they worked fine.

I don't think ZIP archives will fix the problem... I can try uploading one in a day or two and see if that fixes the problem, though.

I heard that some "helpful" operating systems try to convert binary (I don't mean .TXT files) files (like the .SB format) into text files. Some people have this problem with other programs, too. .ZIP files have checksums to prevent the corruption happening.

Ah, well, in that case, I can upload a ZIP file with Windows XP Prosucktional in it, just for you! Here it is... Hope that helps you out

FINALLY, IT WORKS!!!! 
I guess Windows Vista is one of those "helpful systems", although it dosen't corrupt other projects. Hopefully Scratch 2.0 will use the checksum function ZIP (De-)Compressors enforce on their files? Now all I need is Button Seek to be fixed...

Happy to help! I'm not sure about 2.0 - maybe it'll even use Cloud Computing! Though that *is* doubtful, considering the limited resources of Scratch.

I have snail-speed Internet connections. My PC has 4GB+ of RAM and 51% free space out of a 356 GB HD. My PC is extermely fast; My I-Net Connection couldn't beat a drop of molasses in a race!

Why would the OSs do that? It'd be pointless since compiled code is unreadable. Period.

Maybe they don't do that, then? It could always be a rumour... Sorry for my un-helpfulness. But clearly, it's your OS doing something to the file.

You helped alot! Without that ZIP file, I'd never get Windown XD working in Scratch. It's just that not every computer has high-speed internet. I wish I had high-speed, but that is the most rarest thing you'd find where I'm at. One of these days, high-speed will dominate and make dial-up extinct! So in a nutshell, you were a BIG help!

So, How Do You Fix An .SB File Exactly?
I Lost 4 Months Of Work Because Of This. D:
I recommend exporting the sprites and saving pictures of scripts every several saves. As for fixing the files, they might not be recoverable.
