I can't save! (Reward for person who helps me)
I'm running Scratch 1.4 on WIndows 7 and tried to save a project and got this:
I was totally NOT saving in a read-only folder and I've had this glitch for days and I tried saving everywhere!
What's the best solution? The first person to give me the best solution gets 10 loveits!

whenever I do that it works anyway :p Maybe you just think it didn't save? Try opening two scratches at once and seeing if it saved.

Where are you trying to save it? C:\Program Files\Scratch won't work, you can only copy files into C:\Program Files\ ( because Windows 7 is worse than Windows XP, just had to get that out there ). So depends on where you are trying to save it.
I save all my projects to C:\Users\Owner\Documents\Scratch Projects

When that happens to me, I share the project. I go to my page then I download it again, and then I make sure to save it in "my projects". I've had that work in the past.
