Erwin, Just in case you didn't see it in the other thread, Thomas Chust created a portable package for Racket. One easy solution is to download and use the latest version from: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/chust/racket-portable/downloads">https://bitbucket.org/chust/racket-portable/downloads</a> That will not just solve the current problems, but also bring the enhacements of the newer versions.

Which version of DrRacket (formerly DrScheme) are you using? Which OS? Or does this error happen across OSes? -- Matthias (p.s. I wouldn't be frustrated with the error message in this case but with the error. But if you face what I think it is, there is a remedy.)

Scheme to high school students and recently have had many students lose their work when their Scheme file cannot be opened. The error given is: insert-file in text% error loading file (read from file failed) === context === Any ideas what is causing thi?. It sometimes happens when they are inserting images they have found from the internet but it is not consistent. thanks Erwin Hildebrandt River East Collegiate _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: <a href="http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users" target="_blank">http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users</a> </blockquote> </blockquote> _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: <a href="http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users" target="_blank">http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
