There is a walkthrough on GameBoomers here. Maybe that will help you out.

I think it's always helpful to look at more than one walkthrough. I would use the one you already had, the one I linked you to on GameBoomers, and UHS Hints also has one here.

According to the walkthrough, the fake register is in the upstairs study, which you go to after the parlor. Did you look at the part of the walkthrough about the parlor to see if that helps you? THE PARLOR
Turn back and enter the green draped door ahead of you. You'll be facing a set of double wooden doors. Turn left and walk to the corner to examine the empty sarcophagus. Sherlock remarks that it looks like Momphis XI seems to have gone for a stroll. Now how likely is that? Note the sand. When you back out of the picture, look right to examine the wall mounted rifle, then go forward, turn right and click on the lavender colored draperies to reveal another door. Let's continue our examination of this room first, however. Look down in front of the sofa and pick up the note from Elizabeth. She didn't tell you she'd studied archeology did she? Wonder why she wouldn't mention that?
Turn left and walk toward the fireplace. Examine the mounted lion's head over the mantle. A hunting trophy, no doubt. Continue left and look at the large corner cabinet. You'll find that you are, as yet, unable to force it open. Turn left. Walk to the opposite wall and look down in the dark, open cupboard to pick up the PIPE CLEANER.
Look up and click on any one of the displayed pipes to hear that Sherlock and Lord Montcalfe have a love of ornate pipes in common. Nothing else to do here. Look up and click on the picture of Lord Montcafe. Sherlock muses that it is strange that none of his archeological finds can be viewed down on the ground floor. When you back out of the picture, look at the large wall framed family tree, which it appears, Lord Montcalfe has vandalized with some particularly virulent comments. Take particular note of Sherlock's remarks about Jonathan Parkey ("thief, murderer.)"
Swing around toward the entry door. Look at the pictures on the wall beside the door, of Montcalfe in Egypt. Leave the room. Turn right and go forward once. Turn right and enter,
THE UPSTAIRS STUDY

If you scroll down the page for this walkthrough here - it shows you the slider puzzle solution as well as a picture of what it looks like.

The walkthrough says this about the second stick in the wine cellar: Return to the cot and lift it again against the wall. Use your hammer to break open the lid and extract a small Anubis STATUE. Was this statue the one stolen from the ambassador as chronicled in the newspaper article? Turn around and, facing the stoned-up doorway, pan down to pick up a second STICK. And by the way, here is another link to a walkthrough of the game that I think you will find most helpful: Mystery of the Mummy Walkthrough

If you absolutely can't get past it, there are saves you can try at http://www.nicouzouf.com/en/?id=themysteryofthemummyI'm not sure if they work with your version of the game. They seem to have used a disc version. Something to try though, if you can't get through. I remember this part of the game was a huge pain. This kind of thing is why I start some games and don't finish them.

I would suggest that you follow the walkthrough closely that you can find here. Just start at the beginning of the sequence that you are attempting and it should help you out.

I would look over the walkthrough again here. It gives you explicit directions as to what to do in this part of the game.

ok thank you so much with this, the big thing is this timer. Yes, the timer spoiled the game. Also, if you don't see a "center urn" you may not be where the walkthrough expects you to be. Maybe there's a close-up that puts an urn clearly in the center? Best thing is to check a video walkthrough if you can't find it, like Marian suggested.

As Jenny pointed out earlier in this thread, there are some saved games here. I don't know whether they would work for you or not, but it is something to consider.

You can open zip files using Windows Explorer. Right-click the file and choose Extract All. If you want a 3rd party program for unzipping files, I'd recommend 7-zip, which is free. https://www.7-zip.org/
