Thanks Nikki!

I have been on the game info folder and I could find nothing about lives in it. I am on my Vista laptop. Maybe I might have more luck with the XP trying to change the number of lives. But I did try your hint about changing the time on the level folder and it worked! I was able to get Day 49 done in which I had already lost a couple of lives trying to get it done.

The timer was running but real slow. All I did was double the first number on each level in wordpad on "time ="

You're welcome! I haven't had any trouble finishing a level since I did that. It doesn't even matter that I have tons of lives. I seriously doubt that I'll need any of them.

Have fun!

You are so right Nikki, it doesn't matter how many lives you have if you have to keep starting over again and again. You can't progress in the game, you are still stuck, starting over and over, waiting for the exact right conditions to happen. With the normal timer, it is too hard to finish the level and becomes totally frustrating. I wish all game developers would understand that the timer needs to be an option for ones that enjoy being timed. For some that is fun, and that is fine. For me, it is total frustration.

To me a timer is like reading a book and being timed. No matter where you are, when the timer goes off, you have to restart the book. I can't concentrate on the book and enjoy it for worrying I am going to have to start all over again. And it has absolutely NO reason to be timed in the first place.

Thanks again Nikki for finding the timer option!

You are very welcome! I'm glad I could help.

Hello Nikki, I have just spent 3 hours trying to add time & it still doesn't work. I found "level" went through & added a 4 to the beginning of each level---now what? Do I save? If so it won't let me. Keeps saying " cannot create this level" or "do not have permission to change"
Also I cannot find anywhere where it says "Lives" If I could just add time I might not need them.
Please ,could you walk this 70yr old dumb computer-ilit through this. Thank you very much

it just gets worse and worse ... and I can't let go ... aaarrrgh

what is the trick to getting the wedding rings? it's day 81 back in London and Fogg wants to get married

seems like this is a further complication on the 'moving it over' but can't figure this one out ... anybody working on this one?

Okay, I do need some help. I am stuck on level 49. Tried to find the file gameinfo, but didn't see it. I need to get more time. Can someone help me further. P.L.E.A.S.E.

Bets, are you talking about this?

menauhune, are you still stuck?

Yes.

Hee hee - This game is just SO addictive - One of my most fave casual games I have ever played. Unfortunately I can no longer play it on any of my machines - I keep getting Access Violation error message - Drat!!! I do miss this game!!

Duh - I needed to update my drivers - Now the game works again - Whoopee!!

l4labs

yes, I'm still stuck ... have tried playing slow to look for some kind of strategy, but getting nowhere at all

help would be appreciated ... have you done this level? Day 81

how far (how many days) does it continue

Nope, haven't played that one yet--but I wanted to check. I know we do have members who have finished the game so hopefully, one of them will stop in.

Bets, I've never played around in game files so I would be loath to tell you how. Have you asked the computer to search for a File named "level"?

I found this from a link on the first page:

This should be the general area where you can add more time. Yu would look for time as opposed to lives. Have you already tried that?

Menahune, I still can't find any help for you on the web.

Yes, I tried that. Couldn't find gameinfo, lives or time.

Bets

Hmmmm, sorry--I was afraid that was the case

So now what do I do. Anyone have any suggestions on level 49?
