Argh. Hopefully a Boomer with a UK game version has a save at this spot that they can send to you in the meantime. Let's wait and see.

Hi all, I really need your help please, This is such a great game but ... I seem to be having a hellava time trying to get the compartment open I have the allen wrench placed ir on the 5th hole.. I turned the ...

left hook ... ((clicked on it 5xs))
2nd from left 2xs
3rd from left 3xs
4th from left 1x
and the allen wrench ((last one from left 4xs and the compartment will not open .. what am I doing wrong????? was I suppose to start from the right ... please....thank-you

Before you fdo this puzzle, you have to see the paper with colored numbers and the map/wind rose's cardinal directions. I f you haven't the puzzle solution will not work.

Then you turn:
Direction to turn hook to: SW, NW, SE, W, NE

MaG eighter Im tired or whatever I did look at the map ... I looked at the colored numbers on the paper went to the hooks and still nothing .. could it be Im that dense (ok so Iam) anyway its just not doing anything ... what it does is when I back up the hooks reset themselves and I dont see anything opened???

If you think you did the puzzle correcyly - The compartment is below the hooks - so look down there.

no its just not working dont know why I will try to re-play this game but Im wondering is the object here just to turn the hooks (left to right) so where does the color fit in??? was I suppose to go to the map and click on the colour before I go to the hooks ... this game is baffeling me well this part is anyway.
please maybe a save would brighten my day Thank-You

The order of the hooks to be turned is shown by the paper that has colored numbers:
So the order from left to right is: 5 2 3 1 4.

Where they are to be turned is show by the colors of the numbers which is you then correlate with the colors of the map.
So from left to right the colors seen are: red, blue, green black and pink.

From left to right turn the hooks:
5 - SW
2 - NW
3 - SE
1 - W
4 - NE

Thank-You MaG going their now

Hi MaG ok no-can do I just dont see anything happening ... maybe a glitch could you or a kind hearted , sympathetic Boomie send a save for after this part so that I can continue ... or otherwise, I will re-start if no one has a save Thanks all

It's on the way, Leeana.

Thank You

You're welcome.

I've solved the Slider Puzzle - anyone want an English savegame, I have one.

Thanks to everyone who offered help.

dave

That's great, dave. Enjoy the rest of the game now.

when I get there dave its great to know you have that ... I think if I were as young as you kids out there Id have an easy time at this .. ok do you guys know how to get the wood from under the motercycle out Ive been clicking and clicking but without any movement ... the stool came out ok but the wood wont budge ... dave or anyone did you click the keys to the motorcycle to move it?

Leeana,

You're not old. If you are, then I'm really old.

You have to raise the motorcycle higher in order to get the block in easily.
Be sure that you have done this: Use the wrench on the inserted stool without seat to raise the motorcycle back higher.

Thanks again MaG ok Ive done that Now its Undoing getting the motorcycle to move is whats wrong ... I cant seem to ride it ...here is whats wrong...
After I placed the coin and the wheel cap on and tightened it with the wrench to secure the wheel cap I push clicked the motorcycle but it does "Not" budge ((does not move???))
My question is...
Do I push -click the motorcycle "Or" do I take the motorcycle keys and click them on the motorcycle to advance to Marseilles France.
Oh dummy me I just answered my own question Sorry ... I got it ... what a beautifil scene too Thanks for all your help will be playing the game later

Have fun with the game now.

I too am in dire neede of a saved game gor the slider puzzle. Question is, how do I use it?

Karen,

It's on the way with a step by step.

I'm a real dunce at this sirt of thing.When I went to open the last two files I was asked how to open the files and what with? Combine the files?

dumb and dumber but this slider really has me stumped!!!
Karen B

Hi Karen,

Don't try to open the files, the game will do that for you once you've renumbered and installed them.

You'll find the game folder in My Documents.
Save both files to your desktop (don't try to open them). Then make sure to renumber both files so that they will appear sequentially last in the game folder (they need to be the same number, as the 2 files make up one save). Then copy and paste both files across into the folder.
Exit the folder, start up your game as usual and load the new save - you will need to scroll down through the saves to find the new one.

Dumb and Dumber.Both files 'shortcutted' to desktop'(?) and was not able to number them the same. Now, both files are gone and I have two shortcuts. There is no new saves to load in game. Woe is me!
Karen B

Are you using XP? From the e-mail that MaG sent to you, left-click on the file attachment and select "Save Attachment". Then select Browse, and from there select Desktop. This will save the two files directly to your desktop.

To renumber the files, slowly left-click twice inside the file title box and that will allow you to edit. Check the game save folder first so that you know what the new file number should be.

Then follow the instructions per the step-by-step and you should be ready to go.

Thanks for all of the help but it's not working ad I'm sayin 'uncle'!

Hi Karen - are you playing with an American version of the game, or a European one? I had a problem with saves not working: it turned out that saves for the USA version will not work with the UK version...

Would you like a European save?
