Hey fellow Java learners, I'm a really eager user of Greenfoot but unfortunately I've been getting errors with the program itself before I can even play with it. When I open the program, I get this error message greeting me: I didn't understand what it meant, but I tried following its steps by finding the Project menu after I clicked "OK". As you can see in the following screenshot, the Project menu isn't there. I tried following the tutorial and when I tried right-clicking the wombat to execute the void turnLeft() method, I got that error in the screenshot above. Can anyone please provide any help/tips to fix this? I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times to see whether this was just an installation problem. I don't know what to do anymore as Google has absolutely no documentation on these errors. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Hi, You may have opened the scenario in Greenfoot's directory in Program files which will probably be read only. Try copying the scenario folder (it may be at something like C:\program files\Greenfoot\scenarios) to "My Documents", or a folder within it. You should then be able to write to the scenario and have it work properly.
