LOL At least you know why it wasn't working now.

Sometimes background programs can interfere with a programs performance.

My Sherlock is not working either. I don't get any error messages, it just sits and does nothing. I've reset, restarted, turned off the ticker, lowered the click speed...I can't think of anything else to do.

Wasn't there another program at one point?

Sherlock is version 3.8 and you can get it at http://jackpotspin.com/jigsaw/Sherlock.exe

Jigsaw Detector is version 6.4 and you can get it at http://tokenwinner.com/jigsaw/JigsawDetector.exe

Only Sherlock works on the Hard setting.

Ok, tonight I have been running sherlock 3.8. it tells me several times"can't solve this puzzle, please escuse me" then it just sits there, also when it does finish a case, it will not go on to the next one without me clicking on the new case. Even when 1 left of the orig. three. Is this one you have to babysit?

I did try the other program and it did nothing.

thanks

Bugger. I feel better knowing I am not the only one having trouble with Sherlock but if I download and register JD it won't help me get some of my badges as they require puzzles being solved on hard setting.

TSR seems to be the only way to go I guess. :(

What you can do for the badge is let the auto finish most of the puzzle on Medium. When there are only a couple pieces left to place stop the auto and switch the puzzle difficulty to Hard and manually place the last couple peices to get the badge.

See thats what I thought. The auto does not work on anything but Hard level. If I set it to anything other than hard, it will just sit there. I just thought that was the way it was made. As for mine, it does not select a new case after it has solved one, so I have to babysit.

That's weird I've tested mine twice and it works fine. Are you sure you have smooth edges turned off?

Well I thought I had done that before, but I guess not. I did fix it. But now it only works on medium and hard. I set it to easy and it just sits there. Says in the message box "Found game window.....please wait." and then doesnt do anything.

That didn't work :(

I did what you said, in the order you said to do it. When I changed the difficulty level of the puzzle it ended my game and started over. No pieces in place. It started from scratch again.
