Thanks Jenny but MSN wont let me open attachments and it is one problem I have with this server. I am in the beginning of the game Jenny there isn't much I can have missed. I heard the monkey chatter the first time I played it but there was no monkey even though he chattered. I will keep trying. Thanks for your help.

I think you can do a couple of other things first ... or I think I had trouble with this monkey too - it may have been right at my feet and I had to look down to see it. I think it was an issue of being at exactly the right spot and then looking down ...

I found the monkey I was looking in the wrong place. Now I have another problem think it is a glitch. I have found Anusha and am locked in the cellar closet. The cursor is frozen the only way to unfreeze it is make the inventory visible I still cannot find the match. I have gone over the whole screen slowly and carefully the only thing I can think is it is under the space where the inventory is and I cannot get to it. This has been very frustrating. I bought it from someone in the trading section there was no prior use however as it was still in original cellophane wrap when I got it.

I have turned it up to maximum brightness and it is still REALLY dark in there. I don't have a cursor at all. The only thing is see is a small orange ball in the center of the screen that does not move the only way I can move it is to make the inventory visible but I think the matches and match box are under where the inventory is sitting.

It's supposed to be dark. The "orange ball" will stay in the center of the screen because the game uses a central cursor. It isn't edge-panning. The cursor always stays in the center of the screen. Ordinarily you see the screen change as you pan around. But since every direction is dark and black in the closet, it may appear that the screen is frozen. When the game first came out, a lot of people thought their screens were frozen. I checked Witchen's walkthrough at http://www.gameboomers.com/wtcheats/pcRr/road_to_india.html and she says After a cutscene in which Fred is seen beating on the door of his temporary cell; a dark, hot, little room. You need to find some light. Move your cursor around until you get a hand cursor. Click on it. Then click on your inventory to see that you have added a SINGLE MATCH and a BOX OF MATCHES to the resident rat and the screwdriver in your inventory. Light the match by striking it on the match box. Exit your inventory quickly and find a PIECE OF CLOTH on a shelf. Light another match, exit your inventory and find a small BOTTLE OF GAS. In inventory, combine the cloth with the small bottle of gas. Light the cloth with a match. Now you have a small gas lantern. Handy!
It's tricky to pan around a screen when you can't see where you're aimed. You have to be very methodical and patient. But I don't think you have a tech problem.

Well, Jenny I have a tech problem! The graphics are jumbled. Looks like an ugly jig saw puzzle. Looked for patches on this game, but haven't found any. Ran the compatability Wizard on my XP; nothing helped. Now what?

Hadn't thought of that. Should have though. I'll try it. hope it works because I'm at a part that would be easier if I could see stuff without the jig saw.(Maze with the Rat). <img border="0" alt=" " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" />
