Red X-java
I can not get my projects (or anyone else's for that matter) to run on Scratch after I post them. I keep getting the brown JAVA logo and then it goes right to a red x in the upper left corner? I am am not the best computer person. Can anyone explain (in simple terms 
what I can do to fix it? Is it Scratch or something with JAVA?

Yes, I checked it and there was a test to run...said I had most current version and it showed that it was working..........but I still get the red X on Scratch?
There is information at http://www.dickbaldwin.com/homeschool/Hs00300.htm#Figure_1 that will help you to determine if you have Java properly installed on your computer. Perform the various tests that surround that figure.
If that all works, go to a command prompt and enter the following commands at the command prompt. You should get an output very similar to that shown below if you have the latest version of Java installed as of May 2008.
C:\jnk>java -version
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)
C:\jnk>javac -version
javac 1.6.0
