Hello- I have the Case of the Rose Tattoo and I want to finally put it on my computer, I have windows 98 2nd edition. I have a 1.8 gigahertz with an Intel Pentium 4 and 60 GB of Hard Drive and plenty of memory. How can I put it on. I have seen others talk about putting it on and I do not know how to change my machine or workings to 95 or is it reconfigure? Anyway I need help and I do not understand any of this. I do have a printout of what is on my machine if you need it, I was able to find it at Belarc. Thanks Margo

It's automatically compatible. The only worry I'd have is whether your computer is too fast for the game. If it is, a PC slowdown program like CPUKiller might help. But first, just install the game from the Setup file and see how well it runs.

Jenny100- I was able to get it to load, but then it said it had to configure the sound and music and all I got was lines with lovely color, but that is all. Also the game does not show anywhere where it is loaded?????? Help is still needed. Thanks Margo

Hi Margo - I just loaded the game into my W98 machine and it did exactly what your game did. Here's what I did (and I don't know if step one solved the lines or not but it can't hurt)
I first changed my colors from 32 bit to 16 bit You'll find the game installed on your C drive. Click on C then look for a folder called Holmes2 Click to open Find the file that says Setsound (should be in the second to the last row third one in) click on that and your sound setup will come up To run the game you need to click on the icon that looks like a bolt and says Holmes2 under it or the one that has the 221B and a red W under it. Make a short cut to your desktop using either one of these icons and you can start the game from there.
This is such a great, great game - one of my all time favorites.

Dear Syd- Changed my bit to 16, but not sure if meant high color or not. Went to folder and it was where you said it was, only, it does not want to work right, when I complete one project, it does not want to leave that area and I am stuck, I still have no music or sound. There is no Bolt or 221B at all. Still need help as I am up a creek. Thanks Margo

Hi Margo - okay we'll do this one step at a time. You found the Setsound icon and clicked on it right?
When you hit enter on the first line which is Select and config MIDI music driver and you get the next screen with a list of sound cards - what are you doing after that?
As an aside - what type of sound card do you have in your W98 machine?

Hi Margo - 16 bit high color is what you want - it will work with 256 but the color is better with 16 bit. The Geforce is your video card - still need to know what type of sound card you have.
Are you letting the program automatically detect your sound card?
Do me a favor - click on Setsound and tell me what it says under Current Sound Configuration (will be in the purple box up top)

Ok so neither one is set up. I would think using the Creative Soundblaster Pro will work so we'll try that one first - if not we'll try them all <g> At the Sound configuration screen hit enter on Select and config MIDI At the next screen hit enter at the Creative Labs sound Blaster Pro - new version - you may have to scroll down or up to find it Next screen - let it attempt to configure your sound driver automatically - if it tells you you don't have a SB Pro then we'll try another one. Post back - I'll be here until abour 5:45 pm PDT - after that I'm off to a baseball game (The Oakland A's are playing the Boston Red Socks)

Dear Syd- I want to thank you for all your help with The Case of the Rose Tattoo. Your last instructions worked like a dream and I now have full sound and music and it works wonderful. Cannot thank you enough for all your help. After working on this all day I thought I would never play it and now I can. Thanks so very much, I hope your team won. Thanks Margo

Hi Margo Glad to hear you got it working Hope you still feel that way when you get to the dreaded dart game bwaha-hahahahahahahahaha And my team lost - but my son's team won and my husband really didn't have a preference, so at least half of us went home happy
