Hi all, have a small problem, would anyone have a save for the solar return machine in this game, it is driving me nuts.

cannot find the mandrake in the game called Nostradamus? and not sure when it turns midnight or dark for me to get it and can't go on with game until I do get the mandrake?

Collette,
Check your e-mail - it is sent.

Grandmother,
You'll know it turns midnight when it gets dark.
If it is still not dark, talk to Nostradamus again about the quatrain. He will mention about something that will help his memory. That is when you need the mandrake.
Look in your recipe book if ther ecipe is there, so that you know you need mandrake.

Hi mag, thanx for the save,

Hi Mag
Can you please send me a save for the solar return machine. I am starting to cross-eyed trying to line up the planets. Just can't do it.

Jacq,

The save is sent.
Please don't post at different threads. Stay with this one now. Thanks.

Do you have a criteria of how and where do I put your saved file for the Solar Return Machine. I am lost.

Thanks

Jacq1

Download the file to desktop.
Open the My Computer - C drive - program files - Microids - Nostradamus - Profile 1 folder.
Check what is the last number there.
Renumber the file on the desktop to be the last number.
Place the renumbered file in the Profile 1 folder.
Play-load as usual. Check each of the icons profile to see where it got placed.
Good luck.

I am working off a Windows Vista. In my program files-Nostradamus- Profile 1 folder, I only have a config file. I cannot download this particular file. It tells me that it does not have a program associated with it to perform this action. Please create an association in the Set Association control Panel. What am I missing or doing wrong?
Thanks Jacq1

Jacq,

Check the stickied thread on top of the Hints page about Vista saved game folders.
See which one might get you to that elusive folder.
Then that is the replacement for the instruction - second line on my post above.
Continue from there.

MaG
I'll give it a try. Thanks
Jacq1

It worked. I am on the 4th day with your help

Wow! That's great! Which one did you do that worked? So that another Vista gamer can be helped.

I needed to turn off my User Account Control. Than I opened the Users\My name\AppData\Local\Virtual Store\Program Files\Name.
Thanks for the help.
Have you done the part where you decode the alphabet. I am trying to do this section. I am a little confused. Any suggestions.
Jacq1

Use the quill on the alphabet of Philibert's stone to get TOMBE.
Use the compass to complete all the circles - outside and inner circles. Check that all the circles are made.

Then place the Celtic letter under the corresponding top alphabet.
Click the double arrow to enter it on the column at right page.
Then the next Celtic letter for the next top alphabet will be the third Celtic alphabet from the one you just did.

Thanks a bunch

Hope it works. You can also check the other wt to see other pictures that might help.

Hi MaG, could you send me a save for the solar return machine again please, sorry to be such a pain,

It's on the way.

Thanx MaG, thats worked great

Hi, just finished the game, really enjoyed that. Great game. Thanx for all your help.

You're welcome. It is a very good game - except for that last timed puzzle.
