What does it say when it freezes?

Nothing, it just stays on "Connecting to Scratch......" for the longest time, and when I hit cancel, another one pops up

I think it might not be loading up because the projects name is "Flip"

It loads up to "connecting to scratch"

I'm gonna reboot my computer, so I'll be back here in about 20 minutes

Try changing the name, uploading it, then changing the name back.

Did, it still doesn't work

I've rebooted my computer SO many times and left my computer to rest for hours on end!

I really don't know what's wrong

Thanks!

I have had no problem what-so-ever uploading projects before.
I have not updated my OS since last year
I have Windows XP (not home, not pro)
I'm pretty sure I don't have a proxy, if I do, I don't use it.

How about you uninstall and then download and reinstall Scratch again? You might've corrupted it over time.

Okay, I reinstalled, and I STILL can't upload

This is very odd... Do you have a block that you 'made' like Jens 'Flip' block? Have you tried having a different project name?

I have NO idea how to use the make a block program

I have tried a lot of diffrent projects, and they just won't upload

What about parental protection software...any of that installed and running on your computer? 

Do you have access to other computers in your house with Scratch installed - if so can they upload projects?

Is your computer a laptop?  If so - have you tried taking it to a different internet connection point (like a library) and uploading from there?

Often, it's because you're internet's disconnected. But how the heck can you post this without being connected?

I can't get my project to upload, and I've tried at least 8 times, but it always freezes. 

I've NEVER had a problem uploading before

Anyone know what to do?

If you have a mac I had that same problem and snow
leapord worked

Ok then it probably is going most of the way there. Is it a big project? If it is have you compressed it?

it's small AND I compressed it

That may be the problem. It's weird, but I've seen it happen before with both flash and scratch projects. Try not compressing it.

It might work, it might not, but it's worth a try.

Click cancel on the second window and see if that cancels it.

Ok, no offense, but that is pretty pointless. The window isn't the problem, it's the fact that it won't upload. If he couldn't close the window but wanted to, he would just force quit (with mac), or close from Task Manager (with windows).
