Welcome to Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Persian Carpet forum

I uninstalled and re-installed at least three times. Game gets frozen. I'll never buy another Big Fish game. Looks like I was the fish.

My game also froze the moment I entered the Cement works. Has anyone gotten a reply from tech support?

I thought that my game had frozen at that point too, but I finally realized that you are supposed to click on an object that is right underneath where the arrow is pointing; until you do that, you are unable to click/do anything anywhere else. Perhaps this is your problem as well.

can someone help me understand how to do the 'number slider puzzle' ... I am really stuck w that one...and I even purchase the 'help program' for the game. blessings, ChaplainJudi

I still am unable to complete the 'number slider puzzle' ...could someone tell me how to do it...so I can move on....ChaplainJudi
If you don't want to give the secret out...please send me a 'private message' ...I am not positive how that works...but I will look for a message.
I would be so grateful.

I'm having the same problemafter redowmloading and starting a new game. Did you get an answer to this question? Tech support has not been able to help. It played fine until I deleted it and redownloaded. Thanks.

Don't know if this helps, but as far as the clock goes, I remember reading the "opera paper" is connected to the Lord Linden, and the paper makes the clock show the time of death. I missed an opera paper somewhere, and I'm going back through to look at what I missed. I only had "share papers" by the time I got in there.

I'm having quite the hair pulling over this game---wow!
good luck, I'm trying to hang in there too.

Hi Dollyflower.
I had some similar problems when I started, and it was involving the Compatibility.

Open the Program File, right click on the .exe or application file and click properties. Click Compatibility tab, and Check for it to run compatible to Windows XP.

That fixed my freeze. Depending on your computer, try only one more at the time in that list of compatibilities--next being the resolution 640.

good luck.

Can anyone help me with the deduction board? Is there some way to move past it even if you haven't figured out all the connections? I am stuck on the board. I have been to the opening scene, Gordon's room, the Garden, the Box, and Backstage. I've identified the actress and the director as suspects and have inspected the body and found all the clues. Now the game is asking me to make the correct matches among all the clues I've found. I've made 7 out of 8 but just cannot find the eigth and I'm unable to move forward. Any help would be appreciagted greatly. None of the walkthroughs I've found address the deduction board unfortunately.

Can someone help me get out of the actresses dressing room Ive found all the clues but cant get the puzzle piece to help me move onto the next thing which I feel is linked to Vincents letter.
