Did you select the two correct documents that will help you decode the message? Once selected, you'll see letters appear at the bottom of the screen, and you can begin the puzzle.

The message is in Roman Numerals, but the lower half of the numerals are missing to make things trickier.

Click on a letter on the red bar at the bottom and then click on the empty frame above the associated Roman numeral on the page.

Thanks Rushes - for you - :tweety:

Aww, that's cute. Thank you.

I did select the 2 documents and they appear at the top of the codes. Also, what I see doesn't seem to be red but the same color as the desk. Is that it? I also don't have any letter appearing. I'm using the WT that MaGrRo put out to the letter. I don't know what I missed.

Jen,

I vaguely recall that another gamer has the same problem. It seems that her screen was too large.
It cut off the red part at the bottom when the 2 correct documents were selected.
See if selecting another screen resolution would work for you. It us under options- video at main menu.

I had it on the lowest setting and I still can't see any letters. This game is on Vista, Could that be the problem? It is the video resolution that needs changing isn't it? I"m not good with computers

Jen

Try the higher settings on resolution and see.

I went through every one of the settings and never could see any letters. Is there no hope for me?

Jen

I'll send you a saved game with the puzzle completed. On its way now.

Try my email address without a capital first letter.

Jen

Have re-sent in all lower-case, if that might make a difference. Did you try checking your spam folder in case it ended up there?

thank you so much

You're welcome. Enjoy the game.

My husband actually send a response back to you. I think he can't find what he needs in our computer. He says it just looks like a Jpg

Jen

The saves for Frogware's Sherlock games are in picture form. The data is embedded in the picture.
So your husband found it.
