message I don't understand
On my scratch program i can't upload. A little message that only lasts a split second appears. I freeze framed it.
the message wrote:
INITIALIZING THE NETWORK DRIVERS; THIS MAY TAKE UP TO 30 SECONDS AND CAN"T BE INTERRUPTED.
I wait, and do not interrupt it, but IT STILL WON'T UPLOAD!
I need help understanding this odd message...

Re: message I don't understand
That's annoying. I see that you have a number of projects on your account...so it looks like you were able to Share projects at some time in the past. Is this a new problem? Can you think of anything that might have changed that might be causing this?

You have looked at some of my posts relating to this problem. This error message must hold some type of clue to my uploading problem...
I want to upload again, so if anyone could decode this, It would help not just me but many people!

I realoze this, the problem is that my scratch program is trying to create or download something into itself, but the project is trying to save, stopping the "DO NOT INTERRUPT"
If anyone could help with the fact that the program keeps interrupting itself, I would appreciate it. 
Please?

Re: message I don't understand
So, Scratch wants to initialize network drives. A network drive is something that you get on some computer systems where you log on through a terminal onto your account on the mainframe, like in school - you can log on your account from any computer in school. A network drive is something that seems like a local disk drive, but in fact is a folder on another computer (not shared folder). Maybe you're using Scratch in that kind of network, and Scratch tries to initialize them, but interrupts itself. Weird.

I sent an email to the development team to see if they have any thoughts.

Re: message I don't understand
It's better to abbreviate phrases like "By the way" to "btw" but not words from "you" to "u".
