iam having a problem getting the game to download.it keeps on coming
up wanting to download steam is this suppose to do this?i have the pc dvd.please help.thank you.

I believe that the disk version requires an internet connection in order to activate the game. If the activation is through Steam, then I believe it would require that you have Steam installed as well. I don't know this for sure, though, so you might want to wait to hear from someone who is more knowledgeable.

It sounds like you might have to download Steam. I bought my version from the Sherlock Holmes website, but I still had to activate the game at Steam, using the product code that was emailed to me. There is a "games" tab at the very top of the Steam application with a dropdown list showing: "activate a product on Steam", which is what I did. I have several games from Steam so that was not a problem. I am not sure whether the Steam application will load every time you play the game or not. Good luck - I am enjoying my game play immensely!

Thank you, LadyCav.

All of Frogwares' games require Steam unless you are lucky enough to find an old disk copy of one.

thanks for the help I finilly got it downloaded,but
can I ask do you have to play this game with your
keybroad or use your mouse like the other games.thanks again

Keyboard and mouse. Easy to use.

It's a combination mouse and keyboard.
you use the WASD to get the direction and then mouse left key to do the action - in this case the walkies.

I've just about had it with Watson. He's right in my way when I have to go some place. I keep bumping into him a lot. I told him to go home and stay out of my way. I guess he won't listen to me because he's still in the way. Great game anyway.

Move right or left and he will move away automatically.

what is the directions for w,a,s,d and using
the letters on your computer won't hurt your
computer will it.thanks

There are many computer games that use the keyboard as well as the mouse.

Traditionally:

W = go forward
S = go backward
A = go to the left
D = go to the right
