Have sailed off to other places and love those underwater dives and picturetaking tasks, BUT have a bit of a techie prob here - and think I read about similar prob somewhere for this game - am trying to set sail for Eten (do not remember if/when the coords were downloaded by Edward) and keep getting an 'error message' and dumped back to my desktop - I will try backing up to an earlier save (makes for a lot of stuff to do over what with the photo analysis/transfer procedures) but maybe this will correct my stuckness.....any suggestions you can add? Or do you know how others solved this problem?
Love, Betty Lou

I do not understand how this game could run just fine with the required color settings up to this point and then just quit working - Now I cannot get the game to run at all, keeps giving me error message - do you think it would run OK on my other computer which has WIN95 (I have WIN98 on this one)? And do I then have to start all over from the beginning? Phooey! mad

Betty this game is buggy - i think you're at the spot Mad was at when she had to quit. I played the game on an older computer and I remember it crashed a few times but I managed to get through it - I don't know if it's a speed problem or not. Try it on your W95 and maybe even use Turbo or another slow down utility. You can transfer your saves over so you don't have to start from scratch. Good luck.

I'mmmmmmm back.....have installed this on my W95 with no trouble, have not been successful in transferring my saved games (this game does not put them where you think they would be, and the place it does put them I have inserted my saves but they do not show up in my list in the game - so have decided to try to replay it and forget those saves, just see if/how long it will run on this computer and if there will be any problems with it.....good thing I have good notes on this one, will make it easier to redo what I had already done before.....thanks for any and all help...
Love, Betty Lou

a brief update - this game is WONDERFUL! plays perfectly (up to now, knock on wood) and even the dives are going smoother with WIN95 - I swear most of the conversations (now) have added stuff that did not appear with WIN98 and wonder how that is possible, then again maybe it is my imagination and my 'old' rememberer....
I'm dumping my saves from first time around with WIN98 as I cannot make them work with WIN95 and it is too frustrating to keep trying.....on my way to Dive #3 now....see ya later if I get stuck again
Love, Betty Lou laugh

Hello again - I am stuck - page 3 of the w/t says "Go to Automap and sail to Eten (this is an Island). Back out and go to the island."
I assume this means to put my cursor at the bottom of my screen and see that funny triangle, choose "ISLAND" from the places I can go, but nothing happens, I am still on the bridge of my vessel.....and I have tried to use that rubber dinghy down below and Edward keeps saying "No Way".....is this a 'pixel' hunt for just the right spot on the Automap to go to? Or am I at the right spot but missing something here? Please, help me get to the Island....Thanks
Love, Betty Lou

No problems on the Island, just need to complain - this jungle maze is a big pain in the ...
It would be nice if there was a map to help me find my way around - I stumbled onto the Grotto by accident when I was looking for that old headquarters building and am now having trouble finding it from that old building, keep making a wrong turn somehow - that blasted directional arrow cursor is sure hard to find and this is one big painful pixel hunt! I WILL keep on looking however, as want to get on with this one.
Love, Betty Lou

OK, Question - according to the w/t I am to "leave the building" (the headquarters) "move forward three steps to a path" (does not say anything about turning left or right first) I have moved my cursor all over the scene directly in front of me after stepping out the doorway of that building and want to know if the 'flash' of my arrow directional cursor that I see only briefly - that is if I don't blink - is actually trying to appear so I can take a step forward or is this a buggy glitch in the game.....I am sure getting tired of trying to find an arrow here and it only very briefly appears and disappears so fast I can't click on it to move forward.....going crazy and getting frustrated!
Love, Betty Lou

I cannot figure out what is up with that 'ghost' cursor/arrow but it does not matter now, as I finally found my way to the headquarters, the old building and the grotto....am way past that now and have a new problem -
Have taken 6 pictures at Peleliu and am trying to get analysis of them to get new 'enigma' (words) but there seems to be a problem= I apparently taken 1 more picture than I needed (only needed 5) and am not now sure that I have all 5 of the required ones; I get no 'enigma' after analysing those 6 and do not know why - should I back up and go take those pictures again? just to be sure I have the ones I need or is there a problem here getting the databank to 'cough up' the words I need? HELP please
Love, Betty Lou

HELP! someone please - I backed up to a save just before taking those 5 pictures of the pictograms in the Bais on Peleliu and went back to Edward on the ship to analyze them - I am supposed to get another enigma and a list of words - but I do not get this end result - it tells me I took 5 pictures, it analyzed 5 pictures and 3 were interesting - so now what do I do? Stuck at this point as I need to get a look at those pictures.....thanks for helping if you can whoever you are

Betty I checked my notes and don't really have anything so I must not have had any problems. I did write down what the pictures looked like and maybe that will help you:

People in boat
Boat and rock at trees
House - 5 men in front
Tree - rock - three people
3 guys in boat with fish

I guess I will just try to search Edward's W(eb) for the words even tho the analysis did not cough them up for me and see if I can proceed in the game anyway. Thanks for trying. And hope you had a good 'minivacation'. I will post here whatever I find out.
Love, Betty Lou

Whilst awaiting a reply here I went and registered at JA forum and posted same question - only response so far was to suggest it is a technical problem with the speed of my computer....I do not believe it is so, and have gone back to the game, and entered the words from the walkthrough that I was supposed to get from the analysis of the photos, and did a web search on Edward with those words, and got the required results and have proceeded on my merry way. Having fun with this game. Don't know what the problem was here unless the walkthrough was not thorough enough on its instructions and I was not able to figure out more on my own....oh well, I am now trying to zero in on the Jelly Fish Lake site to take more pictures.....WHAT FUN!
Love, Betty Lou

Hi Syd. In your notes do you by any chance have the (number) coordinates for the site of JellyFish Lake? I am having trouble 'hitting the mark' to sail there, and can't seem to get right where I need to be to make my dive......got my fingers crossed you have the numbers. And yes I talked to Braddy twice and Edward entered the coords twice.......too bad the game maker did not include clues to the coordinates which then could be used on that automap to verify just where the ship is to sail to.
Love, Betty Lou

Hi Betty - sorry, no such luck with the lake coordinates frown I just have listed how many photos I took. I can't for the life of me remember where the lake even is - I do remember swimming with all the jellyfish and that was pretty cool and also claustrophobic laugh

I'm going to post my question here also......I don't think I'll get into trouble.I'm at the point of the enigma after the Jellyfish dive. I can place 3 of the 4 thingies but putting the last thing.....the polyp in the right place is so hard. No luck yet. I need help.


Just do it.
