Having issues updating old crates or saving new crates?
ID3 tag info not saving properly?
Are you using Windows 7 or Windows Vista?
If so, disabling User Account Control (UAC) typically resolves the above issues. User Account Control (UAC) is a feature in Windows designed to prevent unauthorized changes to your computer. Unfortunately, UAC can also prevent Scratch Live from making changes to crates, database files, audio files and etc. Basically, UAC blocks Scratch Live's ability to create and/or edit files and Disabling UAC should resolve these issues and prevent further occurrences.
Disabling UAC on Windows Vista
Open up the Windows Control Panel, and type in “UAC” into the search box. Click the link for “Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off”.
On the next screen uncheck the “Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer” option and then click the OK button.
Windows Vista should prompt you to restart. A reboot is required before the changes take effect.
Disabling UAC on Windows 7
Windows 7 makes it easier to disable UAC.
Type UAC into the start menu or Control Panel search box.
Drag the slider down to Never Notify and then click the OK button.
Windows 7 should prompt you to restart. A reboot is required before the changes take effect.
Note: Disabling UAC may lead to a less secure system.
