Good luck :-) The day after I posted the above message, and before I saw your above post, part 2 of the game was downloaded to my computer when I was in the middle of doing something -nothing to do with Steam. A window suddenly appeared on the screen saying "downloading Broken sword 5" or something. I was quite amazed -I've never had that happen. You were right Mick, it was an update or episode 2 and not the whole game as I thought might happen, so it took the same 3 hours to download as part 1, which was good and not the entire game. I didn't think that would happen. You can see I am not familiar with downloading games from Steam. this is first time. Gog is much easier for me to figure out. I've been playing adventure games for 24 years, where you buy the box with the CD/DVD inside and put in your CD/DVD rom. Much easier than downloading and in my experience Steam is hard to figure out and the screen is very dark. I had to turn the brightness way up more than usual. Gog is much easier, but in case I need to get a game at Steam sometime, I wanted to see how it works. After it was downloaded, I also followed your instructions to see how to download an update from Steam. There are so many choices everywhere on Steam. I wasnt sure with some of the terms used on Steam either such as "In your Steam Client right click" you mentioned. I figured it probably means your Steam account? Everything is easy when you know how :) Thank you for your instructions and help. I am still working on Part 1. The game is quite interesting. Puzzles are not that hard a lot is problem solving and following the story.Very nice graphics.I like George and Nico-others were good too.
