Hey All....
I was wondering if anyone feels the way I do about this game...

The interface was a Juggle & a Wiggle...Why?
Cause while playing the game you have to get on top of an object...Before you see a Hand for action or An Eye to look...I got so DIZZY Playing this game....

Everything else was Great...But the interface was Horrible...

I loved the interface! Only took a little getting used to (I was crashing into staircases, tables and even poor Watson to begin with), and then had a great time with it. Being able to zoom around in real-time was great fun. It's true that you have to be very close to an object before a hand or eye cursor appears, but I didn't find it disorienting. I'd like more games to play like this!

Me too Darleen, but it's because I can't get it to play. I've done everything suggested to others in glitches and on the game forum, but...no. It just keeps asking me for the CD.

Hey Nickie...

Did you Do the patch?...I had to do it...Then was Discussted with the interface after I got it to play...

Nickie, some suggestions on their technical support forum for this error message were to please install the 1.1 patch for Sherlock Holmes; disable your antivirus; and if a virtual drive is enabled, to please disable it. Did you try all that?

Someone else with the same problem got it to run by having it auto run and then loading the game with the shortcut on the desktop; another person found that a replacement DVD fixed the problem.

I hope you can get it sorted.

Yes, I did download that, but thanks for trying to help! In fact, I did everything I could think of, including standing on my head with one eye closed and rubbing my stomach, but I haven't come up with the magic formula yet. I'm going to keep tinkering though Sorry you didn't enjoy the game. Can I come to your house and play it?
Edit - Thanks Marian, yes I did.

I have had this game for 2 weeks and I'm only playing it for an hour or two a day. It makes me really dizzy. Also by holding down the mouse when moving has damaged my mouse so now I'll have to buy a new one.But I do like the story line and I will finish it.

Hi Nickie,

can you write to amr@frogwares.com to explain the problem you have, I'm sure we can sort it easily

I loved everything about the game. The ending could have been a little more exciting, but great game!

Hi thehood! I have done so, including the long sad tale plus my dxdiag and am looking forward to you telling me what should have been obvious . I have heard so many good things about the game that I am really looking forward to playing it.

Nickie see your email please.

I just wanted to commend Frogwares on their kindness and caring - already got a response. This is so important, that developers and publishers care. I wrote Atari on another game two months ago, and am still waiting on a response (not really waiting, but you know what I mean). Now who am I more likely to buy a game from?
Don't know if it will work or not as I uninstalled the game in a fit of pique, but will try it out as soon as I get a free moment. Thanks thehood!

Thanks Sue! CYE
My apologies to Darleen for hijacking the thread.

Darleen, it's not the moving around that gets to me--it's trying to use something out of inventory!! I know how to do it, but getting the process to work is....

I'm in the middle of the game and I love everything about it so far. I agree with JB, its a great game.

Loved this game! Sorry for ones like Nickie that are having problems getting it to play.
