I don't know whats going on. Could it be a glitch? I'm stuck trying to get to "The Ladder to the Place that is Purple". Every time I turn the dial on the right to match up with the arrow, the little fist will not open into a hand to move on to the next 2 dials. Or when I do the other 2 dials first the little fist opens with no problem until I turn the right dial then the fist won't open into a hand and I stuck there. I can't even back out that area. I have to ctrl+alt+delete to start the game over at that save point. I'm playing on Windows XP. Help please.

Hi Kiss, I'm not sure what your problem is. Once I had turned the light on and zoomed in on the dials I could move them all to line them up. Try again. If you can't get past it, I can make you a save that will give you access to the ladder. I doubt that it matters but I started on the left dial first.
Let me know if you are able to progress.

You may need the patch, KissKiss. I know other people have experienced a glitch in this spot, and I believe the patch helped.
