Oh oh oh okay apparently you need the image file, look in C:\Program Files\Scratch and see if theres a file called "scratch.image" and thats the image file you need to open.

You need the Scratch image file. Now set it to look into where you put the Scratch image file and double-click the file. Now the project should start up.

Instead of downloading, try saving onto "C:\Program Files\Scratch" or another loaction, and then opening on Scratch.

I have this problem too. I click download and it brings one of my projects instead.

Re: Cant download projects!

If you are running Windows, then in your registry make sure HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > Scratch Project > shell > open > command is set to this:
directory where Scratch is installed/Scratch.exe "that directory again/Scratch.image" "%1"
e.g.
C:\Program Files\Scratch\Scratch.exe "C:\Program Files\Scratch\Scratch.image" "%1"

EDIT:
ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHEN EDITING THE REGISTRY

Re: Cant download projects!

Another problem might be that your project is a read only file. If you are on Windows, right click the file and select properties. Then, at the bottom, untick 'read only', click Apply, then try opening the file.

Hope this helps!
