Hi, ok I'll give it a try, I always start the game from a shortcut, so don't really see the start up.
Thks anyways

I think the .exe file is in the Valve\Steam Directory.

Hi, I'll have a look at valve and let you know.
Back to the game, killed the fish with the helicopter. got by the monster, thru the mine fields, found a bldg with the red wheel to open drain, but,
cannot find the drain??
is it all the way back at the dam with the heli??

Try following the wall to the left ... I remember my path was behind a rock, shielding me from the helicopter ... you will see the Storm Drain enclosed by a fence. From your hiding position jump over the fence and jump down into it.

Hi, me again, tks I found the sewer drain all went well from then on, managed to get into the building, got by all the trip mines, got down to the basement, waited til the aliens left, got down to the tank, but now, every time I try to run zigzag to the storage room, the tank gets me, I did pick up strange looking glove however that kills combines only, and the detpack, for some reason I can't make it work, if i right click nothing hapens, if i left click, it just disapears, how do i make it explode.

You must mean the Hornet Gun. I tried it out, but did not use it

Hi, thks, re detpacks, it looks like something you would place on a tank, timer and then explode, but I don't know how to use it. When you click on it in your inventory, its in your hand, has a timer on it.

I'm not talking about the mbout the trip mine gadget,that works fine.

Ok, so far so good, made it into the bldg, killed the 2 guards, out the window, got rid of the gun, now how do i get on the ladder to goto the roof of the other bldg, tried jumping to the other dustbin and then to the ladder but no go.

It must be a Satchel Charge. You use it by clicking on it to attach it to a surface, then click on it again, which activates the detonator to set it off

Tks, I;ll try the jump, by the way, you must be retired like me as you reply almost instantly.
I'm a real gamer, love 1st shooters, like, Wolfestein, men of valor, call of duty, far cry, iron storm, mafia, deadly dozen, half life 2 all great games.

Your right, Shaggy, and isn't it nice. No more 9 to 5 race. Do what you want, when you want, and how you want ... I spend hours and hours on games, love them.

I like the Shooters too, not all of them, but do like most RPGs. Did I mention that I'm starting Chronicles of Riddick?

Right, give that jump a try.

Ok, that will be my next one. Now, how do I get to the big gun?? Can't figure out how to get there.

Did you play any of the Myst games?? Riven etc they were great, Syberia, return to Eygyt also good.

I should have previously stated that I made the jump, got into the court yard with the big gun, killed a few combines but cannot figure out how to get to the big gun??

Well persistance paid off I found the big gun, blasted the big doors and now on my way to getting into the grate. Thks for your help so far, stick around in case I still need you.

Hi,again, Shaggy. I played the first Myst, Tex Murphy Series, and some others, long time ago. Use to love the Adventures, but somehow they don't have that zing anymore.

To get to the gun, you need to go back to the guard who let you in the supply room, and he'll unlock another door ... or am I where you already have been?
