Try registering in the forums please

Anyway, let me try to solve some of your problems.

1. Um, I have just downloaded RPGMaker and was wondering, how to make my castle actually not transparent? when I test run game it is transparent and I alk through it... How do I get inside it?

Well, easy but not that easy. I'm assuming that by castle you mean that little castle you can put on your map, half the size of your character , anyway, for that to work, you must create the map for inside the castle first. Then, create an event (go to the event layer) and right click on your castle and select "new event". Now, look for the teleportation event, and choose your "inside castle" map and where you want your hero to appear. Now, go play again and see how your character enters the castle when you walk over it.
About the transparency issue, I'm guessing you're talking about when you walk over the castle and you literally stand on it, well, easy. First, get rid of that castle, and go to the event layer. Right click on the part you want your castle to be at, and select "new event". At the left side you can choose a picture for your event, look for the castle image. Now, on the event screen, look for some options there that let you choose the event priority, like, "above" hero (you walk below it), "same level as hero" (you can't walk over it, this is the one you should choose), and "below hero" (the one by default). Sorry I can't give you exact info but I don't have the program right now. Hope it helps.

2. I made this realy cool rpg game and I saved it as project 1 and I cant find it in my computer files? what file is it in? am I stupid? well I'm not starting over!

Haha, you're not stupid. If it is RPG maker XP then it should be in My Documents folder, under the RPGmaker XP folder, if not then check in the directory you installed the program, like program files\enterbrain\rpg maker.... there should be the projects folder.

Ah, old RPG maker, I remember making games in it, back in 2006 to 2007. It's pretty powerful, and this is a pretty good tutorial for teaching the basics, however I feel it could be expanded upon.
