Success at last! - I got the voices in English now. I think I did everything 
right in the first place as far as downloading, and even though I put both 
the setup download and patch download in the same folder, I think that would 
have worked out ok, except when I extracted the patch files using Winzip, I 
didn't replace all the files in the game install download that I should have 
for some reason. This last time I made two folders with game setup in one 
and the patch in the other and it was much less confusing. Also, I haven't 
used Winzip for a long time and did something wrong with it too, but this 
time I got it right, thanks to your instructions.
I knew the problem was the patch, and so did you. I didn't overwrite a 
couple of files in the game folder that I should have.

BTW, did you use Winzip to unzip the files, then "extract" to copy them to 
the folder with the game install and the other folder with the patch?

The game looks pretty good. I like the graphics. They look exactly like the 
original BS game- The colours in the first scene with the flower seller are 
beautiful. George and Nico and flower seller sound something the same as 
original game. So far, from what I've seen, the creators/designers and the 
whole team who made the game, have done a great job - and it's even free 
which is even better. BS fans would like it.

Thanks a lot for your help. I can now play the game. And thanks to "rms" who 
told us here about the fanmade game of BS (unless you already knew about 
it). I had never heard of this fanmade game. But gives me a game to play as 
I miss the old adventure games, and replay my favourites now and then.

P.S. now that you have Windows 7, you are coming up in the world :) - 
remember when you had an older system and had trouble playing some games. So 
did I back in the day. Thats when I did my own upgrading, but hard a hard 
time keeping up with the latest adventure games. Now I have a good system - 
for now.
