Re: AHH Wont let me open file!

try shift clicking the R and hitting "save image for end-user" i had a problem like that and that fixed it, or you could try re-installing scratch, but the first would be easier so i would try that first

schusteralex2 means to open up Scratch and Shift-Click the R letter in the logo.  smile

However, if modifying the .image file or re-installing doesn't help, then it's likely the projects was damaged in some way (for example, ending the Scratch program before the project is completely saved can cause a project to be corrupted) to the point where it's not recoverable.  hmm

If you want, you can try uploading the project through a file sharing site (like MediaFire, for example) and seeing if anyone else is able to recover it.

Re: AHH Wont let me open file!

So I just click shift while the mouse is over the 'R' or click on the 'r' and press shift XD confusing! I'll try both and see if it works

No u hold shift, and click, and mouse over the R all at the same time.

Then click save image for end user.


Make it in Scratch! because it's cooler when it's made in scratch

Re: AHH Wont let me open file!

Okay, and do I do this when scratch is just open on the new game screen or do I try to open my game and then do this? I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but thanks a lot for helping!!

Re: AHH Wont let me open file!

I am having a similar problem. I am currently working on an animation, I am nearly done after working on it for 4 months. I try to open it and it says KEY NOT FOUND. FILE MAY BE BROKEN OR DAMAGED. How can I fix this? I have been trying different things to get it back for almost 2 weeks. Can anyone help me?
