Download Scratch 1.4
You may have a previous version or something, and that's why you can't use it

Re: i cant download!

Un-installing then installing scratch again will probably fix it.
Not sure what caused it, could of been you accidently doing something to the source code or maybe the project has just gone wrong somehow.

Re: i cant download!

Your project shows us that you are not using Scratch 1.4, which is the latest version of Scratch. So download it.

If you still can't open the project after you have installed Scratch 1.4, then try downloading the project again.

Re: i cant download!

If you have Scratch 1.2.1 (or an earlier version of Scratch), you won't be able to open any projects made in 1.3 and above. If you try, you get that "bad header" error. Is that the problem? If you have a version of Scratch below 1.3, get 1.4. Actually, no matter what version you have - if it's not 1.4, get 1.4.  tongue
