I can't get that youtube link to work. It says Youtube at the top of the
black Youtube screen, but no arrow or anything to start the game. I am not a
member of Youtube, maybe that's why it doesn't work for me.

> another link (the official one) http://www.brokensword25.com/

When I click on the above link it goes to the same screen that I downloaded
from Gamershell which was the link I got from the post from rms here,  but
it was http://www.brokensword25.com/downloads/vollversion.htm - If you use
that link you will see what I mean. Both links are the same general screen
but each Downloads screen has different links to click on.
This is confusing. As both links go to the same main screen, but Download
sections and where you are supposed to click is not the same.

I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what. I tried quite a few 
times to get things to work, but I still just get German. I clicked on 
http://www.brokensword25.com/  - in the first section under "Downloads" 
(Multilingual patch) its the same patch I downloaded before which didn't 
work.
Maybe you could tell me which section and which link you downloaded on 
http://www.brokensword25.com/ and which other files you downloaded and which 
links and where did you put the files? did you install the patch and the 
game in "Programs" ? Are you using Win XP or windows 7? I am using Xp.
