It says when the cue hits the drum or circle at the end, hit the corresponding color on the drum at the center. Does that mean any point over the drum? Also what is the minimum score one is supposed to make?
Some of the colors reach the circle drum at different speeds - so you have to adjust the clicks. I tend to click before the colored circle arrive at the black one on top.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm struggling with the standing stones now. Do you do all the Oghams, then all the trees and then all the constellations; or do you finish each stone and move on to the next? I've done this numerous times and can't get the ornate stone to open. I'm on junior! Can you imagine the problems I'd have on senior?

I didn;t try to do by layers. I did it by stones. I finish the first, go right and do the next one. Take care on the scripts, there's one that is similar to each other - can't remember which one.

I'm trying to move the chemicals. I can clear a path to all the disposal areas with a few explosions here and there. When I try to move the Hg which is totally clear, it explodes. After a while aytnig I touch explodes. Is the an order in which they should be removed?
I used a save to get passed it, so not much help but MaG says in her WT, "Do the right side chemicals first to clear space for access to category 2 and then category 3."

While I'm crying and complaining, do you only get so many tries before everything you touch blows up? I really would rather get through the puzzle than use a save, but I feel that frustrating feeling coming on.

MaG says in her WT, "There are second chances and they start at the end of the last chemical." Have you tried moving a different one before the hg? Maybe try moving other ones first and work through them before the hg?

I've tried all different kinds of ways and after a while everything just blows up. I'm one of those folks who always uses a wt. so I almost have this one memorized. I've been at this for hours!

I wish I could help you with some tips but I don't have any since I used a save to get passed it. I can send you an XP save to try, other than that, we'll have to wait for someone using Vista with a save for this.

I think the saves in this game for XP works with Vista. I just don't know if they are located in the same place.
Use the graph lines as your guide in centering the rod of the claw. Use the graph line to determine how wide to open the claw to not touch the other chemicals. Use the inner claw to close on the chemicals - not the outside large claw.
Center on the chemical to get it and adjust how far your inner claw should be before you close it. There is a difference between the large chemicals and small chemicals.
In moving forward when another chemical is close by - be sure that you do not touch it. Close the claw or move a bit to the right. When you pass it, the you can move back to the left by centering the rod.
