Hi, Mary. Yes, I did change my email address. I am actually using the yahoo address for stuff on the internet to avoid getting spam on my real address since I changed it. I nearly gave up on Rose Tattoo because I had so much trouble getting it to run before but this time I just installed it and it immediately worked. I really think it has to do with upgrading to XP Pro cause that is all that is different from when I tried it before. I'm so glad I didn't give up because I would have missed out. Since it's kind of old, I just really didn't think it would be as good as it is. I am really looking forward to Silver Earring. I played just the very first part of the demo but I decided to quit and wait until I could play the whole game but I enjoyed it. I probably won't get to have it until Christmas, though but maybe I will get it sooner. Rose Tattoo has held my interest from the very beginning. So far I haven't gotten bored with it once. Everything is logical and there is nothing that you just have to guess what to do cause it all makes sense. I love that. The only two things that have annoyed me in the game are: 1.) It takes quite a while to go in or out of Holmes' house because they have to remove or put on their coats and hats. That is getting old. 2.) Sometimes when I try to "use" an object, the game just quits. I have to restart the game and go do something else and come back to "use" the object. It has happened with 3-4 objects so far but I'm always able to go back and try again at a different time. Those are my only gripes and they are little (unless there comes a time that leaving and coming back to an object doesn't make it useable) so I think the game is great. Paula
