I'm not sure if I should tell you this. lol

- Open C drive; open Users folder, open your computer's name folder, open My Documents folder.
- Open Alibi in Ashes folder.
- Open "Alibi" text paper with a gear icon.
- Check what is written on the second paragraph.
It should be - WindowMode=2

If it is not - change it to WindowMode=2. You might just need to change the number
Then be sure to SAVE the text file.

much appreciated Mag for the idea. if i uninstall/reinstall the game and start from scratch again, will that serve the same purpose? your alternate solution seems a wee tad complicated to me although i will try it - duffer that i am! robert.

Don't try it if you are nervous. Please.

You can just uninstall and install again. See if that helps.

hi Mag. when i use the vial on thermostat to get a town hall sample, i can't take the vial and does not go into inventory automatically as was the case previously when taking items. something must be wrong. do you know where i went wrong and i think i followed all conversations faithfully? robert.

Robert,

Be sure that Nancy has asked you to get a sample.
Be sure also that you are at the correct place to get a sample.
Be sure that you are at close up of the sample and have identified it first before you try to get the sample. luck

You should have:
- Read Nancy's booking report. Learn that they found that Nancy's clothes taken during the home search have gasoline, an accelerant. Nancy wants to know what really started the fire.
- Read that Toni Scallari reported the fire. The detector-alarm failed to operate due to unknown reason.
- Use the cell phone and call Dad.
- Ask either George or Ned to get a sample as close to the point of origin from Town Hall fire. It should be collected in a glass sample container.
- Check the display on the table across from the New Arrivals shelf. Take the free glass vial.
- Go to the thermostat at far wall. The point of origin must be found and stated by the character.
- Use the glass vial-sample container taken from the antique store on thermostat to get Town Hall sample.

As for the fire alarm:
- Call Nancy and tell her about the alarm.

It's from the evidence locker at the police station. In MaG's walkthrough, that's under the header: "Find a way to open locker 205"

Mag. i don't really understand what you say 'the point of origin must be found and stated by the character'? what does this mean? robert.

The point of origin of the fire.
The character (Ned or George) that goes to collect the sample should click on the source of the fire and says that is what is found.
Then you can get a sample.

It can be because you have not done or talked to someone that triggered that action.

Has Bess talked to Deidre and not get anywhere?
Did Bess tell Nancy about it?
Did Nancy ask Ned to talk to Deidre to get information?

Be sure that Ned has finished talking to Deidre.
Then drive to the police station after you got the note.
