it said that space bar or right click will get you the menu. esc ends game ,but when playing the game none of that worked ,nada.or clicking any place on control panel. What do you mean by "it" when you say "it said?" Are these instructions from Big Fish or instructions in the manual for your CD version? It's possible that Big Fish changed the controls for saving. It may autosave now. See if that's the case.

These are the instructions I found for adding an .exe to Webroots exceptions list. - Open WSA, and click the 'gear tool' next to PC Security. - Click the Block/Allow files tab. - Is your program's .exe listed here? If so, and it is marked Block, change that to Allow. - If the program's .exe is not listed, click the Add File button, navigate to the hard drive location where it is installed, select it and set it for allow. The info is from here https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/Exception-List/m-p/270401#M27839

Here's what Big Fish says about Error Code 809. https://bigfishgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001637833-Error-Code-809Error Code 809 appears when a previously opened game may be minimized in the task bar or taking a long time to open or close. Pushing the Play button more than once can also cause this error.
Please select the platform you are using in the table below and follow the suggested steps to help clear up this error:
Windows
1. Close all programs: games, strategy guides, email programs, web browsers, and/or media players. 2. Open the Big Fish Games app (Game Manager) and click the Play button just once. It may take up to a full minute for the game to load. 3. If the error persists, restart your computer and try again.
How do I make sure all games are closed?
1. Press and hold the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys on your keyboard. Next: 2. Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 users: Click Start Task Manager. Windows XP users: The Task Manager will open automatically. From the Task Manager, end any games or applications that are still running.

What is crazy is I have had web root for ever, never had a problem with Big Fish or any one else.
The game is from 17 years ago (year 2000), and who knows what Big Fish did to try to "update" it to run on newer systems. But it is certainly going to be different from the recent games they've published -- or any game made for XP, Vista or later as opposed to Windows 95/98. I just found a CD for this game . Should I try and load it and see what happens ? Make sure to uninstall the Big Fish version first, as well as whatever QuickTime version may have installed with the game. If the QuickTime uninstaller prompts for whether to leave any bits of QuickTime behind, be sure to tell it to remove all of it. Reboot afterwards.
