Re: Need help please. Stuck in UAKM
Gideon's Gallery. That's in Overseer, right? I remember it as very difficult. The last time I played it, quite a few years ago, I learned it was easier for me to use a trackball rather than the standard two button mouse. I've finished UAKM and getting ready to start Pandora this weekend. Obviously I...

Re: Need help please. Stuck in UAKM
I remembered to get the watch at the Mansion. I'll never forget it because the first time I played this game, it was a devil to find. It's funny, I've always had a pretty good memory but I'm running into things this time I don't remember at all. I remembered the watch but I'd forgotten all about the...

Re: Need help please. Stuck in UAKM
After I sent the last note I tried to finish up the chapter by dodging the robot as we have to do when we first get to GRS. After I got killed a couple of times, I decided to go back and wait for him in Tucker's office. When he came back I waited until he was inside the safe again and then locked hi...

Re: Need help please. Stuck in UAKM
Bafitis....I did what you suggested. The robot came and went out again. I got the three things from the safe. Does this mean I won't have to dodge the robot again? He's gone? For good? I've played this game several times over the years and this is the first time anyone has ever told me about doing i...

Re: Need help please. Stuck in UAKM
Do you mean I should open the door and then run and hide without getting the three objects?
I remember that I'm supposed to lock the robot in the safe but if I do that without getting the statue, cassette and note scraps I'll be stuck later on.

Need help please. Stuck in UAKM
I'm in Tucker's office at GRS. I've tried many times to get the objects in the safe. I can get two of them but never all three before the security robot kills me. I've tried paring down the seconds it takes to enter the safe once the door opens. I've tried standing in the doorway and clicking on the...

Re: UAKM - GOG version thanks!
Sam, I will delay upgrading to Win 7 until after I've acquired either a flash drive, an external hard drive or both. I'm swamped with 'stuff' for the rest of the week but I should be able to do everything next week. I agree, backing up my files will reduce my anxiety. I love hidden object games! I w...

Re: UAKM - GOG version thanks!
Sam, I'm will go to MS Windows website and look into downloading Windows 7. This will mean overwriting my current Vista, right? It's a little scary. I'm such a nervous type I'll have my fingernails bitten down to the quick worrying that Tex and all my other 'stuff' will still be there when it's done...

Re: UAKM - GOG version thanks!
Bafitis, thanks for the helpful information. I'm almost ashamed to admit I don't even know what a flash drive is. I will look it up. I remember back when I used earlier versions of Windows that file saving, moving, copying etc., seemed fairly simple. When I started using Vista, it all seems so confu...

Re: UAKM - GOG version thanks!
Lynne...I didn't know that! I thought I was supposed to "run" them. After I downloaded Pandora this afternoon I went to my documents file to run the set-up/install . I wondered then why I didn't see the UAKM files there that I had downloaded the day before. Should I go back and download UA...

Re: UAKM - GOG version thanks!
OMG, I feel like such a fool! Between all the replies here and the ones on GOG the lightbulb finally turned "ON" and I've managed to download Pandora without difficulty. It's up and running smoothly. Several posters told me they thought I was trying to 'run' the program and that it couldn'...

Re: UAKM - GOG version thanks!
Hey everyone..... Thanks so much for all the helpful replies. I didn't try downloading the 2nd file first because it is so huge and would take so long. I considered it but then I had to think about sitting here for hours and then finding out I still couldn't download the first one. That would be so ...

Re: UAKM - GOG version thanks!
Hi Lynne, The problem is I can't download Pandora at all. When I click on the first file to start the download the "set-up file is corrupt" message appears in the first few seconds. It's the same thing with the other game (Gabriel Knight The Beast Within) which also has three files. All th...

Re: UAKM - GOG version thanks!
I'll do as you suggested and check the GOG forums. I'll be back when I've found the solution. It's probably something simple. I hope! In the meantime, I'm having fun with UAKM and ~ I do have a computer with Windows XP in my bedroom. As a last resort I'll try to download them on it. Later, Sally

Re: UAKM - GOG version thanks!
I found the powersave off button. As Samantha said, it's at the same location where we set the screensavers. So no problems on that score. I do have another problem though. I've written an e-mail to GOG support but they haven't had time to reply. I tried downloading Pandora and ran into the "se...
