When I go down into the secret door by the dock there is a  
pool. When I push the button something happens but then I   
cant do anything. Also what number do I put into the thing  
in the wall. Lastley when I get to certain places my hard   
drive goes crazy and I really can't move the pointer. DOes  
anyone else have this problem. Thanks

Yeah, I've been having some problems with my hard drive     
working itself to death. Whenever that happens, I usually   
save the game, then exit and go back in. It's kind of a     
pain, but for some reason, it seems to "refresh" the hard   
drive.

Pick up the note alongside the path above the dock.  This   
gives a hint to operate the pool.  Be aware that some marker
switches aren't immediately visible.  Good luck, I'm almost 
through and have enjoyed every minute, hour and day I have  
spent on this game/movie/book (whatever it is.     Greg V

Is that note in the 1st world? (Wherever that was) If so, I 
missed it. I've seen an itty bitty pool with a tiny ship in 
it, and in the 2nd world (where I am presently stuck) there 
is one near a bunch of trees.<HELP>

You must learn how to turn the fortress in order to take the
pages back. Turning the fortress is done from inside it,    
that's all I'll tell you to keep it entertaining.

   How is this game?  I read an article, and the game       
sounded pretty good.  I have a soundcard, and I was         
wondering, if this game took advantage of that.  I do not   
have a cd-rom.  Thanks for any input!

All,                                                        
   I have "finished" the game, if that is what you want to  
call it. But it doesn't end!!! I met Sirris's dad and he    
told me to explore and he'd call me later!! What does it    
mean?? If anyone knows what to do next please reply         
privitely.

I'm trying to find the page that the Altris(?) asked for.   
Is it in the "vault" mentioned in the torn note?  Where is  
the vault?  Do I take one of the page (blue or red)?  Please
help and I'll try to return the favor.

Is there a way to turn on lights in the ship of the         
Stoneship Island.  I'm hoping the return book to Myst is    
there, but I am at a loss as to how to explore that area.  I
have found everything else I think.  Any minor clue would be
very helpful.  Thanks.  Brian.

Sorry, I don't know anything about this game, but I would   
like to know what its full name is and what it is about.  It
sounds interesting.  Thanks.

Brian,                                                      
I'm in this place too.  Maybe we can help each other o.k.   
Use the pump under to umbrella to pump out the different    
tunnels. Use the generator in the lighthouse to lit the     
corridors.  In one you will find a secret passageway, where 
there is a thing on the floor to activate that room, but I  
don't know how to do it.  Look at the batteries, next to the
the generator, when you first see it -it has a red light,   
when you have sucessfully turn it, the light will go green. 
It doesn't last too long so try and get things down quickly.
                                                            
Also, were you able to go to the telescope and turn to where
the lighthouse beam is lit?

I've done all of that.  I actually got lucky and found the  
doors in the dark initially, each room has a document in it.
I still can't figure out how to get back though.

Brian,                                                      
Float the trunk in the lighthouse.  Crank the generator     
about 10 times.  Don't use your zip code on top.  Look in   
the tunnel (the one closest to the umbrella) for a secret   
passage (look down the bottom at a red square) push the 13th
bottom clockwise once inside.                               
Go to the telescope at set it until you see the lighthouse  
before you go on with the first thing I told you.           
Don't know if it matters which order you do it in, but to   
be on the safe side, do the telescope first.

Do you mean the tunnel going into the boat or the mountain? 
I don't seem to be able to find 13 (bottom? or button?).    
Next, where are you finding a red square, is it in the      
tunnel into the mountain.  Does this help light up the cabin
of the ship? Thanks.

Brian.                                                      
Did you set the telescope?  How go start the generator.     
go in first tunnel in rock (same boat w/undersea room.)     
You'll tunnel should be lit (check out the arched gray doors
along the passage - and look for a red square, the push, a  
small passage will open, go inside, you will see a large    
object in the center, 13th button on outside of it.         
If you have done it correctly, the lights will be brighter  
in the room.  Now go and push 3rd pump under umbrella, go   
into the undersea room.                                     
                                                            
Let me know how you make out.  I'm in  Channelwood now, go  
there next and we can help each other out.

I figured out my problem (and figured out what your first   
message meant...even before the second one).  I kept zipping
past the door.  I had looked at some of them previously, but
not close enough I guess.  How did you figure the number 13?
Was it from the position at which the lighthouse was in the 
telescope?  Well, I made it back to Myst, I am still not    
sure what to do with the documents.  I'm now in the         
spaceship age, I forget the correct name.  Well, thanks for 
your assistance!! Brian.

Hi Brian,                                                   
Good, glad you made it out, put the color pages you brought 
back in the books in the library.                           
                                                            
I'm jealous you made it to the spaceship Age, I can't figure
out the tune (tone deaf ya know)  but if you get bored with 
it, go to the tree stage, so we can play it together.       
On the ship, you have to play the piano key in the sequence 
of the diagram, and then move the levers to the correct tone
you played.  Am I correct on this? then pull the lg. lever? 
                                                            
If you can think of some way to help me out with the        
settings, I would just love it.....

Yes you are correct.  I used both a little hearing and      
mostly tried just going up the scale with the correct number
of notes.  These numbers are- 8, 20, 23, 13, 6.  You just   
have to go up really slow to keep count.                    
     I would like to go to channelwood, but after getting   
the steam started and jumping into the hole of the tree as  
it went up, it came to a stop and I didn't know what else to
do but press the button and go back down.  Is the book in   
the tree when at the top height?

After you hear it go up, turn the handle off until you hear 
it coming down, then get on it.  The book is underground.

Hi Neal,                                                    
 Gee you make me blush.  Let's see, make sure to read the   
books in the library, if it shows a chart or picture, copy  
it in your book.  Go to the map on the wall.  See the bottom
that flash, hold down on it and move it to different        
buildings. There should be a red line.  Hit the picture on  
the wall to reveal the hidden stairs in the bookcase.  Go up
to the elevator and look for two stairways, One will have a 
book, the other a key (make sure to jot down whatever       
appears.  As you get clues to each object. Go to that       
building at enter the codes.  there are 8 switches you will 
need to open, set that nbr. in the panel door in the passage
behind the docks.  Then hit the button on the object in the 
middle of the floor.                                        
                                                            
This will take await to get all the info you need before you
can leave this place.  Then I can help you further.

  I, too, am new to Myst.  Saw your messages to Neal and    
hope you don't mind if I tag along.  The premise of the game
is fascinating and I love the graphics, but they don't give 
you an idea of what you're supposed to do...???  Thus far   
I've been wandering around the island switching on things   
for no reason, making some random notes, etc.  Found the    
library and the secret stairs, etc. but can't figure out    
what to do with the clues given.  Am I trying to launch the 
rocket ship?  Get back to the present?  Regain my sanity?   
Thanks for any help you can give!

Don't mind at all, but if you back at earlier notes from me 
you find all the answers you need.

   Need help revolving the fortress.  I have tried the      
calibration tool, but don't know what I should if anything  
set this tool to, so that going up in the elevator will get 
me access to the real controls.  What exact sequence do I   
need?

Did you look at the book in Myst?  It shows a diagram of the
fortress.  The calibration tool is for practice to see what 
you are doing.  Listen to the sound when the bridge stops at
each side when using the calibration tool.  Have you found  
the real controls yet?  Good Luck.

Help with the trees and switches. I have mapped this whole  
place, changed the switches to route water to the elevator  
farthest away over the sunken bridge but nothing I do makes 
the elevator work. I have found the other closer in elevator
which goes to the first levelup &  explored it, found       
nothing and assume what I need is on the second level up but
I can't get there. Someone please help me I'm running around
in circles, circles, circles...  now stop that!!! Some      
specific directions would be appreciated.. Thanks...

On the first level, you'll find a switch that opens the gate
to the spiral stairway which you can go down and open, then 
you are able to redirect the water to the second level      
elevator and go from there.                                 
     I couldn't tell you where the switch is, I just sorta  
bumbled onto it.  Good Luck!

Thanks Brian, do you mean there is a switch on the first    
level up from the ground level which opens the gate? Then is
the switch to direct water to the second level elevator on  
the ground level? Sorry to be so dense... it comes with age.

The simple answer is yes.  Have you seen all of the y-type  
switches for directing the water?  Those are the ones which 
need to be changed to get the elevator working.  I believe  
it is actually the first one when coming back from the      
windmill.

Hi Neil,                                                    
I have the same question to Brian- there are 3 levels.  On  
which level is the switch that opens the gate- and I assume 
it opens the gate on the second level (?). which you can    
then go freely up and down staircase.                       
                                                            
                                     Dale

The switch is on the second level.  You can see the gate    
from where the switch is and watch it open, if that helps   
you find it.  I never mapped out the level, just got lucky. 
You are also right that you can then go up and down the     
spiral staircase once it is open.

credits when you choose to quit.I went through my computer  
files and saw the Selenitic age under there as well and     
found out it takes as much memory(in fact more)as the other 
ages.What age is this and has anyone been to it.If so reply 
privately (or publicly.) So I will know if there's more to  
the game after you beat it.          Colin

Turn the wheel all the way (I don't remember which          
direction). Shortly, you will hear a "thumping sound." Go to
the giant tree and see what is happening.

You have to activate the switches in the right order, as    
well as making sure that none of the other switches are on.

I am still flustered by the vault.  It was mentioned that it
might be the final marker switch.  Is this correct?  Is the 
piece of paper for Dunny in the vault?  If not, a small clue
as to its whereabouts.  I have been all over the island many
times now to no avail.  I even followed the vault           
instructions to a tee, at least so I thought.  Any help     
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.  Brian.

Make sure all the marker switches are on (all 8). Then go to
the dock and turn the marker switch off.  The vault should  
open.

On the generator do you set the right or left side on the   
diagram on the wall it show left - power  and right - ship  
but I can only set one side (the left).                     
                                                            
I cannot get the doors to the space ship to open. Pleaseeee 
help.  Have done everything here, I think.

Barb    Try the generator room. Set both dials to the same  
number. Be careful here. You must have the tower clues by   
now?

noise.

 I think I left the 1st world without doing a bunch of      
stuff. (Like climbing the tree) How do I get back? Also, in 
the second world, this lock has sounds and I can't get the  
right combination!

Ummmmm.... There isn't really any second world, because you 
can go to them in any order you like. Therefore, the things 
you "should" have done with the tree you can do when you    
return to Myst (the tree leads to another world).  In the   
age you are in, yes, you need to figure out the sounds to   
open the door.  If you look around the island carefully,    
there is somewhere that you can see but cannot walk to >>   
directly.  You'll need to find a special route there (a     
ladder), but you don't need to solve any puzzles to find it.
It's in plain view on the main island. Just keep looking.   
Once you reach this new area, the machine on it will give   
you a hint about how to discover the sound pattern for that 
door.  Hope this helps!

Laura-                                                      
    We just got Myst yesterday (it has been around for some 
time as a Mac game) and we don't know where to begin. How   
many switches are there on the island? How do we figure out 
the combinations? Are there any numbers we should look for  
at the water turbulent pool, besides the ones on the chart? 
If anybody reading this would like to share clues, we would 
be extremely grateful.                                      
    The screens are really great and the idea of a blank    
journal is novel, but, boy can it be frustrating to not have
any idea what we are doing here. Thanks for letting me      
ramble.

The answer to your current question, and those that are sure
to come, are answered in the CD-Rom Entertainment section of
this BB. It is this board that has the most help. Set your  
date back on the first screen of this BB to about 09-01     
and you will find lots of information. Be carefull, don't   
read too much as it will ruin the game, but also don't let  
yourself get stuck for 8 days as one person did. The key to 
this game is to LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY. Even when you are    
sure you know the answer, sight won't always help.

   Go to telescopeand turn till you see top of light house. 
Write down degrees and set generator crank to same.         
   If you figure out which compass button, later in same    
age, let me know.

Just crank the generator for about 10 turns, that should    
fully charge it. You can check by clicking on the battery   
and looking at the white level line.  Eventually it will be 
fully charged but it doesn't last forever.

I figured it out - Crank the generator until green light is 
on.  Go to secret passage - push the 13th button from the   
very top (example what would be 12 o'clock.)  You should    
have light.

After you get the water out of the truck, close the value,  
and flood the lighthouse again.

 Where is the generator for power?I can only find the three

Mr. Cohen,                                                  
The buttons that you push drain water from different parts  
of the island.  Hit the third button and go to the          
lighthouse.  Once you get there go down the stairs to the   
chest.  There is a little lever to the bottom left hand     
sideof the chest. turn it. Go back and hit the third button 
again, and then go back to the lighthouse. Unlock the chest.

I have set the 59 volt, looked at the 3 dates in            
planatarium, turned all switches on, even clock (set at     
221,(what is the lever on the back wall for?).  But I can't 
get access to the spaceship.  What am I doing wrong....

  How did you get it to 221?  It starts at 333, and then you
can only increment the top two digits, or the bottom two    
digits.  There's got to be a way to get it to start at other
than 333, or a way to change the function of the levers,    
because it's 221 is, as far as I can tell, impossible to    
achieve from the position that I currently am in--you can   
prove it by drawing a tree of every possible combination.

Graham,                                                     
Pull down the right lever and hold it for two rotations     
Pull down the left lever and hold it for two rotations      
Pull down the right lever for one rotation.                 
This should give you 221.

Okay, Try it again, I'm sure what I told you was correct.   
This is done in the clock not the spaceship.

Try Reading the books in the library they have vital        
information on solving each puzzle to each of the worlds.   
I would put all of the pictures you find into the book you  
were given.   The spaceship puzzle has to do with notes.

If you pull and hold one lever, the middle gear will keep   
moving while the others stay still.

It can be done...you have to figure the right combination of
pulling the right and left levers...if I remember correctly,
it's something like two pulls of the left follwed by one or 
two of the right (something like that)...keep trying, you'll
get it.

Hi All,                                                     
  Can someone please tell me the correct sequence of numbers
to put into the generator so that both meters read 59.  I   
have tried 16 different combinations and only the left meter
comes up to 59.                                             
                                         Thanks in Advance

You're all set, you need only to have the left one done.    
If you still can't get in ship, Go to the two tall towers   
and pull down the switches (don't worry that they won't stay
down, (you should get in the ship now)

OK, but what do you do once you are actually IN the         
spaceship? I can't figure out what to do with that organ and
switch. I tried the combination of keys that is listed in   
that bok in the library, but nothing happens!

I don't know yet, the clues I gave you are ones I got from  
other myst players.  I haven't taken off the the spaceship  
yet.  I'm in channelwood now, and I've completed Stoneage,  
I can help you out on that one.

Barb, I'm afraid I can't help you with the windmill age. The
only thing I could do was turn the hose on up at the top of 
the tower. I'm not sure what it did though. Then there's    
also all those little switches on the tracks. Not to mention
that wooden elevator that I can't get to work. I guess I'm  
not much help. =(

Okay...I got the door open and got down to that sub or      
whatever...what's the deal with it?  Does it take me to the 
Myst book, or what?  (I play it on a friend's computer, so I
am limited as to when I can play).  Also, what is the deal  
with the fireplace in the book room in the main age of Myst?
Where do you find out what combination to use on it?

Need a little help to get started. Have activated 6 of the  
eight marker switches, set tower beam to point at giant cog.
At top of tower ladder I see through a slit to the cog. So  
what? Please help me to get going.

Picked up that paper (note?) next to book in library and    
seem to  have lost it. Now I'm further along in game and    
finding notes (turn into cursor symbols) all over the place.
When I pick up one, the previous one disappears. What are   
these notes and what to do?

Diana.                                                      
There's a blue and red book in the library.  As you get the 
red and blue pages you need to put them in the book.  You   
can carry only one page at a time, so you need to go back   
again to retrieve the other page if you want it.  The good  
part is the 2nd time you don't have to repeat everything.

Barb: Thanks for the clues. Once you  have a red or blue    
note, how you get back to the library to put it inside the  
book?                                                       
   At the beginning of the game, I put the note found in the
library inside the book. When I opened the book, all I got  
was interference. What does this mean?

Click on the book, when it opens, a scratchy film will run  
and he will tell you to get another page.  You don't        
actually get to see it in the book.  As you bring the pages 
the audio get better, but it will never be perfectly clear. 
(that's the way the game was made). Don't get 4 red AND 4   
blue or you'll end up like them.  Bring 4 to only one, and  
if you want 3 to the other.

I must be dense. Can't get any elevator to work. Stuck on   
the first level. Have been able to activate bridge and      
attach hose. When I directed water (threw 4 switches) to    
elevator closest to windmill, I hear both running water and 
motor noises. I enter elevator and pull lever. NOTHING      
HAPPENS. What to do? Have directed water to other elevator, 
still nothing. Directed water to gate...nothing. HELP!

Diana,                                                      
Go to the first fork closest to the willmill that has a     
switch.  The first thing you need to do is direct water to  
the elevator at the spiral staircase.  Don't forget to close
the door once you are inside, then you can pull the handle.

Ok, I rode the elevator (closest to windmill) to upper      
level. Rode other elevator up and found book which took me  
back to library. I don't think I finished everything in     
Candlewood such as walked stairway or operated the motor in 
windmill. Am I done here? Does the Candlewood book serve any
other purpose than to get me back to library? Maybe I'm     
missing the larger picture. Please fill me in.

If you didn't get any pages, then you're not done.

Barb, its me again. Thanks for all your clues. I'm back to  
Candlewood. Read other clues that said the switch to the    
staircase was on the second level in sight of the gate. I've
look all around (my video in quite dark, or maybe it's my   
brain) but can't find it. Could you give me its PRECISE     
location?

I have been enjoying Myst for the last week untill I have   
come to the land with the windmills and trees where on one  
specific screen I get this Windows General Protection Fault.
 WD31_8.DRV at 0001:3AF9.  I don't feel I should have to    
call Broderbund long distance for tech help that is needed  
as a result of a problem caused by their programing.  I am  
running Myst for Windows on a 486SX\25 with 8megs of ram >> 
and a Paradise Accelerator card for Windows with 1 meg of   
ram on it.  I am using the paradise 800x600 265 color       
driver.  I only get this GPF on one screen in the "Tree or  
Windmill 'land'".  I have tried using my other video drivers
and I still get this GPF.  Any advise on how to resolve this
problem would be GREAT!             Thanks in advance!

I know you said you tried the some other drivers but its    
seems it' the westerndigital (paradise)  driver thats       
causing the error.Documentation suggerst you shoul have     
windows in the 640 x 480 256 color mode to run Myst         
correctly.  Also if you are using 32 bit file access try    
turning it off. I've known to cause some strange errors and 
address conflicts. Hope this helps....--------Digit--------

David Thanks for your reply!  I will try turning off the    
32bit disk access.  I have tried running Myst with all of my
video drivers and I still get the same GPF on the same      
screen.  It's strange that everything else in the game works
fine.  I may call the Western Digital BBS and see if there  
are some more current video drivers for my Paradise         
Accelerator card.  I also upgraded windows 3.10 to 3.11 >>  
and I will change back to 3.10 and see if this may solve the
problem as I know OS/2 for windows has problems running     
under windows 3.11.              Thanks!

Have been playing MYST for a few days and find it enjoyable 
and challenging, However... The screens seem rather dark and
find it difficult to play w/ lights on in the room.  Monitor
is a high end Seiko w/ no problems apparent in any other    
software. Brightness all the way up in MYST and still OK but
dark.  Anyone else notice this?

Some places in the game seemed dark and gloomy to me too. I 
also turned contrast/brightness all the way up.. I think    
Rock Island and the Mechanical age rooms were the darkest I 
ran into. Sandi

I called Broaderbaund and they told me to run the file      
QTW.ini through the RUN command in Windows and when you run 
this program you  will find a line at the bottom that says  
something like OPTIMIZE=HARDWARE, IF THIS IS THIS CASE      
CHANGE THE COMMAND TO READ OPTIMIZE=DRIVER. THEY SAID THAT  
THIS WORKS MOST OF THE TIME BUT FOUND IT USELESS IN MY      
APPLICATION.maybe if you hear something new, you'll let me  
me know... Good Luck and may the mind of Atrus be with      
you...

I was wondering how to get back to the main island.  I am   
on the off world with the fortresss and need to get back to 
the Library to finish reading.  Any suggestions?            
Also I picked up two pages in the fortress in hidden rooms. 
Can these pages be read?  When I picked up the second page, 
the first one turned read.  What do I do with these pages?  
Do I keep carrying them around or should drop them?

Actually, you already dropped on.  You can only hold one    
page at a time, the other was magically transported back to 
its original location.  Getting back to Myst is the main    
puzzle of the land.  Have you found the elevator yet?  You  
need to get clues from a couple different parts of the land 
to help you return to Myst.  I know this is sort of vague,  
if you want more specifics, you can ask, but most of the fun
comes from figuring out these, sometimes pretty tricky,     
puzzles.  Good Luck!

Go to the windmill and turn on the water.  Then you need to 
set the little valves on the bridges so that the water can  
flow to an elevator.                                        
                                                            
        I know that's vague, but I'll go into more detail if
youneed it.

I thought I would start a new subject for those of us with  
Packard Bell Video Cards that split the screen in MYST.     
From what I have learned on AOL, here, & from BroderBLUNDER 
is that the HT card won't work. I have downloaded the       
latest 10/25/93 video drivers from PB BBS 1-818-313-8601 and
still I cannot get rid of the split screen problem. I       
installed  the video 7 512k 640x480 256 driver also.>>>     
And still no luck.  If anyone has any suggestions OR        
solutions please post here. This game is approaching the    
$100 mark in phone bills & useage costs. I hope its worth   
it!.   Thanks.

Surely I'm not the only one with a Packard Bell that is     
having problems?

Myst..today in fact, when I just ran across your note.  I do
believe I shall wait now...I don't need the grief it sounds

David,                                                      
I called the my Circuit City Hot Line and they put me       
through a conference call with Packard Bell.  I spoke with a
head executive and we said they are aware of the problems   
and I had to order hardware to update my video (headland    
card)  the part is call Zip-Ram  Part No.080326.  Cost      
$48.00 plus tax.  Hope will helps you out now that I have   
about $100. in telephone calls to California.               
                                                            
I'm having the hardware shipped Federal Express, it coming  
out of Mexico, should have it by Wednes. or Thurs. this     
coming week.  I let you know hope it works out.

P.S. It pays to be old sometimes, they listen better.

Dave,I also have a PB 486 with the same problem,I also tried
a new video card that a friend had,the video was fine but   
the speed was way slow.Not even worth it.I took the game    
back and traded it in.They should put a warning for all of  
the PB people out here.

Stephen...Part of the game is to determine what the object  
is.  Explore and observe and things will start to fall into 
place. Good luck.

Kenneth,  With your trident card, you should have also      
received either two or three diskettes with various

Ken, I also have a Trident Card and could not get the       
drivers that come with the card to work.  I had to call     
Microsoft download service and get an updated version of the
drivers for super vga cards.  The file you need to download 
is "svga.exe".  Put the file in an empty subdirectory then  
run svga.exe.  The file will uncompress and then you can    
load the 640x480x256 driver from windows set-up.

Pick up any big computer mag. and order it through the mail.
Could be cheaper, too.

    I think I need some help getting Myst for Windows to run
properly.  I just bought it today, but spent a few hours    
this evening getting it going.  I finally got the correct   
video drivers installed and it looks good.  The problem is  
the game play.  It starts out fine, but after I do          
something,  move around a bit or flip some switches etc.  It
begins to move slower and slower until it almost locks up, >
with my hard drive sounding like it is ready to explode!!  I
have upped the windows swap file to well in excess of       
recommended and have removed all screen savers etc that     
might be interfereing.  Any help on making this run well.   
It looks good, but frankly, I can't stand the noise from the
poor drive!!  It just goes slower and slower the further I  
travel.

It seems to do the same thing to me. It will start out at a 
decent speed, then SLOOOOOOWWWW down and you can really     
start to hear some number crunchin from the HD, then it will
speed up again after a while. That's what mine does anyway. 
I guess I just have to put up with it.

    Mike,  Do you know if there is anyway to run it outside 
of Window's?  The slowness is really irritating.  I am using
a 486DX-33 and have given it a ton of memory in the swap    
file.

 That rotation device is practice for the one above the     
elevator. Back on Myst patterm 158 in the library takes you 
to the passage to Atrus, in the fireplace. If you need      
anymore hints reply back soon.

I have done the following, turned the switches on so they   
show on the map, rotated the tower and got the four clues.  
From there I opened the safe and got the matches, entered   
the dates in the star thingy but I dont know what it does.  
What does the 59 volts mean? And this  2:40 2,2,1?  I found 
a generator looking thing and pressed buttons to get to 59  
but I'm still lost.  Help Quick!!!!    thanxs R@CHEL

The large wheel is 5 minute increments, the small wheel is  
hours. Set clock to 2:40. Turn gears to 2,2,1. This will    
open BIG gears at beginning. I am stuck in the mechanical   
age at just this point.

to get out of the mechanichal world you must go in the      
elivator go to the high level hit the middle bottun and get 
out of the elivator if you need to learn how to use it      
listen to the sounds of the gears switching and learn the   
sounds. also go into the room with the hologram of the      
island.

ok you need to go back into the star room and mark down the 
stars constilations go back into the library find out wich  
contalations they are and then you go to where the ship is  
in the well then find those three contalations on the staffs
then the ship should rise and you will have the stoneship   
era then talk later

  First make sure you have matched the sounds correctly     
because if you are one off, the ship wont be activated.     
There is also a more complex hint to the end, the brothers  
in the library are out to get you, dont give them too much  
pages or you will end up where they are.

EASY JUST MAKE SURE YOU MATCH THE SOUNDS EXACTLY AND HAVE   
THEM GO LEFT TO RIGHT THEN PULL THE LEVER. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Even though the book gives the piano keys as 5,1,4,2,3 - you
must put them into the lever thing as 1, 2,3,4,5.

How do you get the key for the safe. I in the tower what do 
you do with the symbol of the book and the key. How do you  
raise the ship, how do you get in the clock tower and what  
do you do in the planetarum

This is the major puzzle at the beginning of the game.  To  
get the answers to each of the puzzles it is necessary to   
turn the tower. This is done on the map in the library.     
Making sure that all the marker switches you can get to are 
turned on - look at the map; by clicking on tower it will   
start to rotate. stop when the line is red. Go back to the  
tower and look out the window and look at the far wall      
. by repeating this for all possible red lines you should be
well on your way to solving the game

This region is a variation on the classis adventure game    
maze.  One way to beat it is to map exactly where you go and
keep track. Eventually, you will find the end of the maze   
where the book is.  Alternatively, I've HEARD that there is 
an easy way through the maze. Keep you EAR the the ground   
for clues. This SOUNDS like a faster way

    If youre sick of the hints the other  person gave you on
the tunnels heres the easy way to get threough.  Each       
direction you travel has a specific sound. As you travel    
through youl figure out which sound means which direction to
travel. If you hear a combo of sounds it means go in the    
direction of the combo you hear.(the N and E sound together 
would mean Northeast. I hope this helps.

    P.S. Dont go backward! If you just came to a place by   
travelling north than dont go south, you would just be going
back to where you came from.

If you just stay to the right you will get through just     
don't go back down the path you came from.

Myst is definitely worth buying. The detailed graphic       
environment is so compelling that once you're in it you     
never want to leave. There's a great mystery to solve, weird
alien hardware you have to figure out how to start up, and a
complicated story.

I just confirmed that 2/28 release with Broderbund; should  
actually be in the stores about a week or two latter.  If

How much ram do you need to run this?  Does it run slow?  I 
got Hell Cab and it is slow as molasass.  It also needs four
megs of ram free once you are in windows and hates virtual  
memory, so I wound up not having enough memory to play it   
quickly anyway.  Then I talked to people who said they had  
16 megs and HC was still slow.  I don't want another repeat 
of that $50 mistake.  Any info is appreciated. Thanks, Rob

I have 8mb of ram and a double speed cd-rom (toshiba) and a 
486 dx 33.. I don't notice that it runs unusually slowly.   
All the cd games I've played seem to run slower than if     
they were running from the hard drive tho. The box states it
will run on a 386dx 33 but that a 486 is recommended, as are
4mb of RAM, windows 3.1 and DOS 5.0 or higher. Also need    
SVGA 640x480 X 256 colors.

Well, I am running Myst with a 486DX-25, a Sony Singlespeed 
CDROM, 8 Meg of Ram, and a generic Trident Video Card at    
640X480, and it seems to run fast enough for me.  The Sound 
does stutter sometimes when it is going to the CDROM, but   
most of the game is unanimated, so it doesn't boggle down.  
But it gets faster as you give windows more virtual memory. 
Good game, I like it a lot, so far.     Tim

Many video card manufacturors have bulletin boards from     
which you can simply download new drivers. Check your video 
card manual to see if your card manuf. has one. Sandi

Help ! I managed to get to the desert planet on the         
spaceship. Now I'm stuck though. I have activated all five  
sights (red button), exchanged the blue for red paper,heard 
their sounds and reached the tuning tower. What do I do     
there ? Adjusting is a slow process ? Is that what I am even
supposed to do there ? What about the elevator door ?       
Inputting the sounds doesn't seem to work. Thanks for the

How do you get into the spaceship?  I set the overall power

You'll notice a utility pole near the spaceship. Climb it   
and close the switch to supply power to the ship.

These are the hints,but, unless you are a complete idiot,   
you already knew this useless info.                         
Hint 1.                                                     
Access to the places of protection starts by examening      
everything on the library walls.If you still need more go on
to the next hint.                                           
Hint 2.Access to the places of protection starts by the>>>>>
understanding of the function of the map in the library. If 
you still need more, go on to the next hint.                
Hint 3.Turn on the Marker switches on Myst island to        
activate locations on the map in the library.Rotate the     
tower to locations that turn the line red by clicking and   
holding the flashing icon on the map.Go to the tower to find
the access keys.

Start searching for the red and blue pages. Pushing         
different switches under the umbrella, will pump water out  
of the 2 tunnels, and the boat. Open all drawers you find in
the rooms. You'll also need to look through the telescope   
and write down the degree at which you find the flashing    
light on the lighthouse. Search all walls in the tunnels for
secret doors. Sandi

I recently got myst, and have reasonable luck finding a few 
different ages.  But I have two problems at the very        
beginning.  First, I have been able to set the first power  
setting to 59 volts, but the second remains stubbornly at   
zero.  How do I set the power indicated by the second       
readout to 59 volts. And second, I don't know what to do    
with the vat (for want of a better word) that I find down   
the stairway to my left just as I first enter Myst.  I hit  
the power button and the liquid disappears to reveal some   
type of buttons or keyboard.  But I cannot get anything to  
happen from that point.  Thanks for any hints or help.

Dave,                                                       
I just started Myst also. And found that vat thing by error.
Turn around and look at the wall behind you. You might find 
out some new info.

I'm afraid that, if you tried turning on the power and shut 
it off after giving up, you'll have to reset the breakers.  
Go back outside and follow the power lines to the ship.  At 
two points on the way are pillars with ladders going up.    
Climb both and flip switches.  Then try again.  One pillar  
right next to shed, one on walkway to ship you are powering.
Combination for 59 volts is 1,4,7,8,10 buttons.  -B-

The vat is powered by the sign on the wall. Upper left      
corner is a button. Push it. This is also where you get the 
message left for Catherine. Punch in the number of switches 
on the island. This info can be obtained by info on front of
sign.

Just thought of another question--how does everyone know    
that the fireplace is the place for that  8 x 6 puzzle?     
Which book mentioned it?                                    
                                                            
Thanks,

(here EB has the game for $49.99, and Compusa has it for    
$47.95.) Also the hint book is $19.95 list but I am hoping  
to solve this without spending that much <g>

I also got into and out of the fireplace, and did not see   
anything that could help.  Where is the clue?               
                                                            
Also I managed to get someplace that no one else is         
mentioning--after setting the clock and 2,2,1 I noticed that
the big gear was split and went to investigate this and am  
now stuck with houses on water and cannot get back to Myst, 
Am I in another world? Or how can I get back to try the #'s 
for the "dentist chair thing"?

Ok.  This is hard to explain, but every time the pipes fork,
there are almost like gate-valve type things.  Each valve   
has to be open toward the direction you are wanting the     
water to go.  If the valve is open the right way, you will  
here the sound of rushing water.  It's probably best to     
start at the pump house and work your way to the elevator.

Almost forgot, did you close the door of the elevator after 
getting inside?  Took me a half hour to figure that one

Ok, Here is a second question.                              
I have the three constilation (sic) and don't how to use    
them on the pillars.  At least thats were I think I'm       
supposed to use them.  That should get us to the fourth age.
 Done the rocket and the mechanical ages.  Thanx in advance.

  If you have gone to the planetarium with the dates, ID    
(see what pictures they are) the constellations and click on
those pictures on the pillars. After this another world will
be ready for you.

on it since passing over it doesn't seem to do the trick.

Those constellations received from the Dentist chair (I get

Anyone help.  I have completed all ages except the          
Channelwood age. I can get up the in the trees & also back  
home to Myst but don't know where any pages or the other    
half of the white note is.  I think there is a way to go    
higher in the huts on top but to get that elevator working I
would have to turn off the one that gets me up there to

Once you've reached the 2nd level, you should find a switch 
that opens the stairway between the 1st and 2nd level. Then 
it is easy to redirect the water to power the elevator that 
goes from the 2nd to 3rd level.

Thanks Steve, I found it!  How could I have missed it.  I   
appreciate the help.

      SET THE CLOCK TO 2:30 BY WAY OF THE WHEELS AND THEN   
PUSH THE RED BUTTON.                                        
      THE THREE RED NOBS TO YOUR RIGHT AS YOU ENTER THE SHIP
AGE ARE WATER PUMPS.  TRY PUSHING DIFFERENT ONES TO CLEAR   
PATHS HINDERED BY WATER.

"$69" no way.  It is available many places for $49.  That   
said, it is a great game -- if you are into logical         
thinking and a minimum of "shoot em ups".  Myst is primarily
just you trying to figure out what happened and where       
everyone went

Sorry but no game is worth $69!! I paid something like      
$39.97!                                                     
You'd better shop around!

I paid less then $65 for the game, I paid under 50 for it.  
So far It's driving me up the wall, which I like. It really 
gets you to think. The Graphics are out of this world.

Channelwood in Myst.  How do you get the gate open to go    
down the stairs?  Is there a switch, and if so, where is it?
I need to go down so that I can switch the water valve for  
the elevator to get to the third level.

There is a lever on the first level of treehouses.  It's in 
a hut that has a view of the door at the top of the stairs. 
It can be reached from the hut which has a table with       
baskets on it.  I wish I could give better directions, but I
don't remember the exact location.

I'm in the stoneAge, I have entered the secret passage      
through the tunnel.  What do I do with the object in the    
middle of the floor?  I heard I should push the 12th        
bottom. there are buttons all around it and a center one.   
In what sequence should I push (small and then larger?)     
smaller one - Which one?

SORRY I HAVN'T REPLIED SOONER.  YOU HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY   
FIGURED OUT THAT IN ORDER TO TURN ON THE SUBMERSIBLE

THE SUN DIAL THING ON THE FLOOR.  (STARTING AT THE TOP AND

Hi Norm,                                                    
It's Barbara, are you just starting the game or have you    
finished it.                                                
I haven't seen any questions from you, so I'm assuming      
you're are either doing well or in expert in the subject.   
I'm a mom of two teenagers, so if you're looking for a young
female, I'm sorry, but I don't fit the bill.                
Hope to hear from you soon.

If you were able to get in the spacespace you should have   
power.  You will need to play the notes, and then set the   
switches on the console to sound the same.  (move up and    
down).

Make sure that the generator is fully charged.  Then push   
the 13th button from the top clockwise

There is a rotation simulator in the torture chamber but, it
doesn't actually move the fortress. There's also two        
different letters that you can pick up in the chambers      
behind the wall in the same room. I can't find anything

  The simulator he speaks of is just that - a simulator.    
There is a different place in the fortress that contains the
actual tower rotation controls, and finding it is the key to
this world.  Here's a hint: thoroughly explore the elevator 
(that is, if you've found it).  It doesn't operate quite    
like other elevators in this game.  If you want more, or    
info on any other part of this game, ask away.   -B-

I have a few questions. 1)How do I get into channelwood?  I 
light the furnace, but what do i do next? Nothing seems to  
work.                                                       
2)What do once I get into the stoneship age?  I'm stumped.  
3)Is there any way to leave an age once your in it, or do   
you have to solve it first?

Hello all you MYST people, I need some help. Ih ave figured 
out SOME of the first part.                                 
                                                            
I can raise the ship, and get into the spaceship, but I have
2 questions <I have more but I think I can figure them out> 
At the start of the game you come across a letter on the    
groud. It says there is a message by the fore-chamber <or   
something like that> by the dock. WHERE is this fore-chamber
????                                                        
                                                            
2) The model ship in the fountian, is this for show or am I 
to do something  with it ?? I have raised the ship out of   
the water...                                                
                                                            
Thanks for your help..

  The chamber in question is reached from the dock - in     
fact, the very same space where you start the game.  Go in  
the door, down the stairs, and explore the room very        
carefully to figure out how to operate it.                  
  Raising the boat is an indication that you have opened the
doorway to the Stoneship world.  Now where do YOU think the 
entrance to this world is going to be?     -B-

the fore-chamber is the door against the dock.  the ship in 
the fountain is for show.  When the small boat rises, so did
the larger one.

  Thanks for the info, after asking my questions, I found   
the fore-chamber.. I'm still working on the chamber, I found
the "Setting Dimensional" on the wall, but I haven't figured
out anything else in the room. I do click on the white light
on front of the culdern <sp> but after that I can't get     
close to it.

To get new displays in the viewer, click on the red button  
in the upper left corner of the sign on the opposite wall.  
This opens up a panel, and you can enter numbers to see     
different messages on the viewer.  For the message from     
Atrus, enter the number of switches on the island(8).

In the log cabin, I turn the valve open and I hear steam but
the tree doesn't move, also WHERE do I find the combo for   
the safe. I tryed the numbers from the clock <221> but that 
doesn't work..

  The combo to the safe can be found, if I remember         
correctly, the same way you got the numbers for the clock.  
Turn the library tower to the hut with the safe and go up   
into the tower to see the clue.  Once you get the safe open,
you'll know what you need to do to get the tree moving. -B-

I am totally stuck now, I'm in the world with the windmill, 
that you access through the tree.  If you make it there,    
maybe you can get me started.

Can help you with the spaceship, I can't get that myself.   
As far as the tree, turn the furnace off, then when it is   
coming down, jump on.

Thanks for the tip on the tree. So you want to go DOWN not  
UP.. Interesting.  I've gone into the Stoneage and I'm lost.
I've gone into Channelwood ??? The world by the gears on the
hill, interesting place, I'm lost in both worlds. But it's  
too late right now to play on tonight.. Tony/San Diego

   Be careful that you are hitting the right octave.  If you
don't know much about music, this means that essentially,   
you are hitting the same not but higher or lower on the     
scale.  Sometimes this is hard to distinguish.  Make sure   
that when you hit the switch and play back the notes, they  
are in the right order and, more importantly, they          
correspond by "distance" to the ones on the keyboard.  >>   
In other words, if the note you entered is quite a ways     
above or below the previous one on the machine, but the     
corresponding one on the keyboard is fairly close to the    
previous one, you are probably hitting the wrong octave.    
Try to find a similarly sounding note closer to the previous
one.  Hope this helps!

Can anyone tell me where the other secret room is in the    
rotating fortress. I've been in the one with the cage that  
lights up but can't find the other one. Any help would much 
appreciated.

There is one secret room off each of the two main ones. I   
can't remember which is which off hand, but they're both    
next to the chairs. One you get to by pressing on a yellow  
stripe (I think) and the other by pressing the lower left   
corner of a big tapestry by the chair.

the marker switches. I need some help.

The marker switches are the ones outside different          
buildings.  Example would be like the one coming up from the
docks, as you hit the stairs, pull every lever up that you  
find.  There are 8 all together.

I don't know what the point is to myst.The marker switches  
are those levers on the small pedestal like things next to  
all the buildings

This is the last puzzle in the game.  You will know when to 
activate the chimney and how to do it, when the time is     
right.  Hope this helps!

 The way you activate the chiminey is once you are inside   
you turn around and will see a panel mess around with that.

island. 2nd I did the clock tower and the gear turned       
halfway, now what? I would be greatfull for any help.

You need to get as much info from the Island first, then do 
your thing with the tree but not when it is going up.  Turn 
to handle off, and when it is coming down, get on it.

As for the clock tower, what you did also opened the big    
gear at the opposite end of the island, where you'll find   
another book.

HELP! I just got MYST and I am so stuck!! Already!! I have  
wandered around the island and been to every screen. What   
does this note to Catherine on the ground mean? I read all  
the books, what important clues do I need from them? What do
I do with the chair and constellation thingy? What about    
these signs that turn pink and green and are eyes and birds,
and arrows and stuff. What about this gigantic tree? Or the 
Spaceship? What are these switches in front of all the      
buildings? This elevator is taking me to the top of the     
tower where there is NOTHING but a wall. And how come       
everytime I restore a game I am in a book with a little     
picture? HELP!!! QUICK PLEASE!!!

Robert,                                                     
You ask alot at once...You need to copy charts out of the   
books, these are vital info.  Go to the map in the library. 
You will see a round circle, I think it flashes.  Hold down 
on it and move it to a specific building.  A red line should
be showing.  Touch the picture of the bookcase to reveal a  
passage.  Go up in the elevator and now see if you can read 
clues to each building.  These are access codes to each age,
when set correctly.  If you put the red line (from the map) 
on the spaceship, you will get (3) dates - go sit in the    
chair and enter them in the screen above your head.  (when  
you see the constellation, make a note of it - clue has to  
do with the red and green symbols.

Barb,                                                       
    sorry, one more question. You said copy charts out of   
the books. I found one book with over 100 designs of the 8x6
grid. What do I need all those for? And where is that 8x6   
grid? I thought it was in the fireplace, but when I go in   
there I can't get the door to come down! HELP AGAIN, please!

later in the game, you will use the fireplace and the grid  
will be explained.

The note to Catherine tells you that you need to go into the
imager room and input the number"08". once in the imager    
room turn to your right you will see a note on the wall when
you approach it closer you will see that there is a button  
in the upper left hand corner press it and set the numbers  
to "08"then turn around and press the button on the front of
the imager.                        -Patches WW.HH.-

Just started the game. I am feeling really stupid after     
reading all these other notes, but what age am I in? I      
haven't done anything yet except walk around and flip       
switches and push buttons and read books. Just please tell

Well, let me know if you get anywhere. Down by the dock,    
there is a door. It doesn't exactly look like a door, it's  
kind of in the wall. If you go down there you might get some
clues and stuff. I did. Let me know what you have found.

Lost in the trees. How do I get home from the tree house    
area. I have found the red and blue papers in the second    
level above ground and have looked at that funky globe with 
the four buttons on it and pressed all of them but I still  
don't know how to leave this land and get back to the       
island. The bridge is up on the land, the gate is open, I   
have looked in both levels above the ground and no book to>>
get home with. HELP!!!

P.S. What is the thing in the house that looks like a big   
trap that actuates when you click on the base its mounted on
for? Neil

I know how to get home, you have to go back down to the     
entry level.  You then go to another elevator. You have to  
build a bridge, attatch a pipe and get on the other         
elevator. At level 1 the door when you open the door the    
book will be there.                                         
Now perhaps you can tell me how to get to level 2. I have   
been all over level 1 found the elevator but it goes no

pieter,                                                     
you need to make note of the constellations on those dates  
then go to the library and find the book that has the       
constellations in it,match them up to the one you found and 
then use the symbols and tun them green in the yard>

In the bookcase, a book will show different constellations, 
and under each a symbol. Example: a snake.  Take notes and  
copy each one exactly as you saw it in the book.  Go and set
those in the planatarium with the dates you received.       
                                                            
Go to the boxes that run down the path.  Set the three      
symbols you got green, and the rest red.

I got to the Stoneship Age. My question is how do I get back
to Myst? I need to. Also, If I wanted to, could I go to     
other ages? It seems as though Stoneship Age is the only one
I can get to.

To return to Mist you need to either solve the world you are
in or start a new game. You can go to any of the worlds, in 
any order but all entrances start/end in Mist.

Myst 2, if/when it comes out, MAY load like a software      
upgrade. This means that if you haven't saved your completed
game you will have to be play Myst 1 again to be able to see
all the elements of Myst 2. If you didn't save your         
completed game, or worse yet, gave your game away it MAY be 
a good idea to get it back. All I have said comes with a BIG
MAYBE, but better safe than sorry. I know I would hate to   
miss game 2 because I gave away game CD 1 and didn't want to
buy it a second time.

OK, thanks for your help before, I've got more questions    
now. What do I do in the little house where on the left     
there is a picture of that big tree, on the right there is a
wheel and in the middle is an engine or something. When I   
turn around there is a place to enter numbers with a handle.
What do I do here? Thanks for help!

I am trying to get Myst working. My biggest problem is when 
I qyut the game, it always kicks me out of Window's to the  
DOS prompt and then locks up the system. If I am using      
EMM386, I do get a message that there was a EMM386 fault.   
With QEMM - ni message just dead. I went to QEMM because    
with EMM386, the game caused GEberal Preotection Faults     
every time. BY using QEMM, I have a lot more memory availabe
. I just wish that I could quit. Any comments? Thanks...

How much RAM do you have and what version if QEMM do you    
have?

While in Window's I have 595K free memory. QEMM version is  
the latest 7.xx. This is frustrating. The game works fine   
except when I quit. I just installed the latest video       
drivers tonight but the same thing happens. Maybe it's      
because I am using the Norton Desktop but I don't see why   
that would make any difference. I haven't had any problem   
with anything else. Thanks for you help...     Scott

Scott,                                                      
   Norton's Desktop for Windows IS the culprit.  I had the  
same problem exiting Myst with NDW installed, but when I    
went back to the Windows Program Manager, the problem       
cleared up.  The easiest way to rectify this is to edit the 
SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows directory.  Look for the line
that says SHELL=C:\NDW\NDW.EXE.  It should be towards the   
top, so it isn't hard to find.  Put a semi-colon ";" in     
front of the line so it looks like this:                    
;SHELL=C:\NDW\NDW.EXE                                       
   Go to the end of the line and hit ENTER, so a blank line 
appears after the NDW line and before the next.  Then type  
in: SHELL=PROGMAN.EXE, save and exit.  When you reload      
Windows, you'll be back to the Program Manager (you'll still
have the NDW group) and your Myst troubles will be over.    
You may have to set up a new Broderbund group--I did.       
   When you finish the game for good, just edit your        
SYSTEM.INI  again, removing the ";" from the NDW line, and  
deleting the PROGMAN.EXE line, and you'll back to the NDW   
shell.                                                      
   I hated giving up the NDW shell, but it's only temporary 
and it's better than having conflicts with the game...

HELP!!! I've been up to the windmill, and everything I try  
to do seems like it doesn't have any effect..the water-turn 
thing, the lever on the pump.I've followed the pipes, but   
trying to switch the direction, the lever jumps back. I     
really want to get out of here, and get the pages, but I'm  
stuck, stuck, stuck!!! If anyone could help, I'd be         
eternally grateful..What am I doing wrong?...thanks!  L.

How many switches are there 8 or 9?  Can't turn on the      
gears, yet I know the readings.  Can you give me any blunt  
clues.

I figured out my own question.  I set all the settings on   
the generator, set dates in planatarium, done the clock bit,
but I can't access the spaceship.  The doors won't open --  
what am I doing wrong or have I missed something important?

I can give you exact clues -- if you want them -- I bought  
the answer book.  However, for the benefit of those who may 
want to play on their own, I suggest that you contact me    
directly by E-mail.  Tell me where you are in the game.     
                                                            
Myst is a great game and really was a lot of fun -- before I
got the answer book.

 Help!                                                      
I need help with the 2,2,1 gears in the clock.  Since they  
turn either the top two or the bottom two at a time the     
combo 221 is not possible.  What am I missing?              
                                                            
Second:  the tall tree.  It seemed to have rotated after    
turning the boiler fully, but I'm still missing something.  
Since I'm still unable to do anything with it.              
                                                            
 Must I read all those books page for page?  Must I copy all
300 8X6 puzzle??                                            
                                                            
I have levitated the ship...still working on the levers &   
the piano thingy.  I don't know what to do with the piece of
paper I found by docks. (in switch, not ground) it's niether
red nor blue.  I dare not 'jump' into the book in the boat  
for fear of being lost in it before doing all these other   
puzzles.                                                    
   Any help ia appreciated,

The levers act differently if you kepp them pulled down.    
                                                            
Let the tree finish rising, then turn off the boiler and go 
over to the base of the tree.                               
                                                            
It's a good idea to read all of the books, bur don't worry  
about the 6x8 grids.  You'll know when to use that book.    
Don't worry about the page you found by the docks.  You'll  
know when to use that, too.                                 
                                                            
If you find a book, it's a good idea to save your game      
before you enter it.  That way you can explore the other Age
without worrying about getting stuck.

To get the combo 221 first pull the left lever twice than   
pull the right lever three times

I am pretty much at the beginning and am trying to get to   
the clock. How do you find out the correct setting for the  
clock. I read the books in the library but they did not say.
Thanks...

Look at the time on the clock, the wheels control the big   
and little hands on the clock.

the time you need is in the tower behind the book case.     
I think it was 2:40

221 my question is how do you get 221. I have gotten        
everyother combination. Please advise which lever's to pull 
in what order. Thanks in advance.

Pull the first lever and hold it down so that it passes     
twice.  Then hold the second lever down for two release and 
pull it down once more.

We've explored this and found all 5 places and pressed the  
red buttons. But at the scanner we can't get a water sound. 
I assume the door with the sliders won't open until we fix  
this.

Did you move the view finder around to where the source of  
the noise was? That could help.

I saw this game in the store the other day.  Is it good?    
How are the graphics?  How do the graphics compare to       
graphics in The 7th Guest?                                  
                                                            
                             Thanx,

There's one of two things happening here.  Either you guys  
are mistaken (my belief) or it's only out in one part of the
country.  I checked two major chains yesterday (CompUSA and 
Babbages) and BOTH haven't heard thing-one about it for IBM.
Also, every time I read a reference to the IBM conversion,  
March is the date mentioned.  the currently-starved KCMOSHer

I've been kinda looking for Myst, too. I'm a bit leery of a 
Mac program converted to IBM, as I recently finished        
Journeyman, and judging by the amount of people that could  
not get it to run with out always locking up (backdate your 
messages and check out journeyman on this forum) I          
                                                            
                                           >>>more          
think I'll wait and see how it plays out under IBM. If it   
runs under DOS, it'll probably be ok, but if it's a Windows 
only.....It took me quite a while to get Journeyman to run, 
turns out there are tons of software conflicts, from video  
drivers to sound drivers and finding the right combination  
can be a bit frustrating.

I realize that those of you who have played Myst probably   
has had a whack or two at 7Guest. I have been getting       
different responses from people when I asked 'Compare.....' 
Some claim Myst leaves 7G down in the dust. On the other    
hand, others say the puzzles in Myst are not as challenging 
as 7G and Myst has a weak plot. Btw, am I correct in        
assuming that Myst is similar to 7G?

IN THE 7TH GUEST WHEN YOU MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE IT PANS, 
ZOOMS, AND MOVES LIKE A MOVIE.  IN MYST WHEN YOU MOVE FROM  
PLACE TO PLACE IT MOVES FROM PICTURE TO PICTURE LIKE FROM A 
90 DEGREE ANGLE TO A 180 DEGREE ANGLE BUT MISS ALL THE PARTS
IN BETWEEN.  THE 7TH IS ALSO STORED ON 2 DISKS INSTEAD OF   
MYST'S 1, WHICH GIVES THE 7TH MORE MEMORY AND GRAPHICS.ON   
THE OTHER HAND, IN MY OPINION MYST'S PICTURE AND SOUND>>>   
QUALITIES ARE MUCH RICHER AND CLEARER, WHICH GIVES ME AT    
LEAST, A MORE FEELING LIKE I'M THERE.  I SUGGEST THAT YOU   
BUY MYST.

Dear Aswin-                                                 
  I just started Myst but have finished Seventh Guest.  I'm 
not sure about the Myst plot, but Seventh Guest had a very  
confusing plot.  I finished the game and I'm still not sure 
what it all meant.  I think the real difference between the 
two games is that in Myst you solve the puzzles by observing
things and reasoning based on your observations.  Seventh   
Guest had more "game" type puzzles like crosswords, cards,  
puzzles, or chess that were not based on observation.  The  
Seventh Guest puzzles were more the ability to reason how to
solve the game.  No observation at all.  The problem was it 
was sometimes hard to figure out what the goal was in the   
Seventh Guest puzzles.  Others of them like the chess board 
with black knights on one side and white knights on the     
other side were easy to understand the goal (switch all the 
pieces to the opposite side using only legal moves and one  
open square).  Seventh Guest also had a hint type feature.  
  So the short answer is that I think both are good games.  
It just depends on what type of puzzles you want to         
confront.                                                   
                                                            
  Hope this helped-                                         
    lori

Finally went with my gut instincts and bought Myst.         
Initially it does seem overly vague, something no game      
players do not want to feel when playing a new game. But as 
I go deeper, the plot (if I can call it that, as I dont     
understand it<G>,yet) flowers nicely. And turning on the    
transitions smooths the transition between scenes, nice     
touch. Anyhow, for Myst prospectors out there,......        
GET THIS GAME!<G>. One thing I'll say, it is not as linear  
as 7Guest, and very intriguing. Good luck playing.

I'm thinking of buying THE MYST in the near future. I was   
wondering if it's worth 48 bucks. I have THE 7TH GUEST; how 
does it compare?  Any other game recomendations are

This is a tuff game with puzzle solving but different from  
the 7th guest. Each age you enter is a puzzle in itself.    
So far we all love it - and yes it's worth 48, the graphics 
are great, though they don't move like in the 7th guest.    
go buy it.

post it must tell you something !!  If you like great       
graphics and a game that gets you thinking then MYST is for 
you. But be prepared to stay up late at nights playing this

Scott,  I have had this game twice, once I bought it and the
2nd time I got it as a gift.It sucks real bad.It is a slide 
show with puzzles.If you like pretty pictures with puzzles  
then by all means get it.I returned both my copies.Save your
$ and wait for something else.So Barb, I don't go along with
you that everybody likes it.

  Don't listen to this guy.  MYST is one of the most        
original games around, because it has a decent plot. The    
"slide show" effect works very well because there are       
extensive views of every world, and it really draws you in. 
If he returned it after a day, it's probably because the    
plot unfolds slowly as you discover more details.  The      
puzzles are well-integrated into the worlds, and there >>   
is plenty of exploration that doesn't require overcoming    
obstacles, but just adds to the feel that you are in a      
complete world. I normally don't like Mac games ported to   
the pc, but this is a definite exception.

    I have Myst and The 7th Guest. If you like The 7th Guest
you will probably like Myst. I think Myst is worth the      
money. Although, if you don't like roll playing games I     
suggest Rebel Assault.

Brian,  All I am telling this guy is my opinion.If he likes 
puzzles then he will like Myst.It would sure seem to me     
though that somebody out there should be able to make a     
cd-rom game that would justify a cd-rom purchase.So far I   
have seen none.I think floppy disk games are still the way  
to go until companies can figure out how to make a cd-rom   
game.And yes I have played just about all there is out >>>>>
there available for the cd-rom, which isn't much.

   No problem, Brian, and I respect your opinion.  I would  
like to share my opinion on some CD games that I think ARE  
worth buying a CD-ROM system for.                           
   1) Day of the Tentacle (CD-ROM).  If you haven't played  
the dos version, this game is great.  Great voices,         
animation, and puzzles!                                     
   2) Gabriel Knight (CD-ROM).  Once again, the CD voices >>
add to the experience of a great adventure.                 
   3)  Myst - this game is original in plot, and although it
IS a puzzle game, the puzzles become part of the environment
and help you understand the world, rather than just serve as
random obstacles thrown into the environment.               
                                                            
    I wish I could recommend more CD-ROM games, but the rest
of them have significant flaws.  Although some of them are  
good, none of the others are outstanding.  And many are     
horrible, action games especially.  CD-ROM, at least        
currently, is not built for action.  Just my opinion.  -B-

Brian,                                                      
                                                            
  In your own words what should a CD Rom game do ?          
                                                            
Look at the graphic's of MYST vers a Hard disk game. Of     
course the HD game well run faster but there well be        
limitation of the gaphics. A CD Rom can hold 650 megs of    
information, most of the CD Rom games out now are around 300
megs if that. What I see from you is the slowness of the    
drives. I don't have a double speed drive but I do have a

stuck on the puzzle, and the game.  It's awesome.   Thanks  
in advance.

The first thing you do is go to all the marker switches you 
can find.turn them on. Then you go to the library and read  
all the books you can, coping down the puzzles.Some of the  
puzzles are of costellations.Copy these down perfectly.Turn 
the line on the map so that it is red, and on the sunken    
ship by the gears.Touch the picture of the library stairsand
it will reveal a stair case.Go up the stair case, up the  >>
elevator, andto the top of the tower.Look at the book and   
the key icons. Go up the key one.Copy down those dates.Go   
back down to the constalation room.Enter these dates in one 
at a time.Now you must match them with the pictures of      
conselations.Find out what three the symbols pertain to,    
thengo to the park.Press those the symbols so that they are 
green, then look at the ship in the fountain. If it has     
risin thenyou did your job right. Make sure that all other  
symbols are red.If the ship rises then go to the large one, 
down its door, and through the hatch.Touch the book and go  
to the Stoneship Age.

Good luck once you are in Stoneship.  I hope you find it    
tedious and annoying to leave.

Go down the stairs in the wall on the dock.  Look at the    
water tank in the middle of the room.  Turn around and go to
the thing that look like a fuse box to the left ot the      
stairs open it do something and then look at the water tank

I cant figure out anything in the game,I just started but   
I'm lost. What do you do with the place behind the books and
how do you get in the lighthouse? The notes say that you can
get into the ship, how?

there.But I figured it out.

Help!! While waiting for another patch to come out for      
Arena, I started playing Myst.  I'm stuck in the beginning. 
I found the plaque in the tower with the number 2,2,1,2:40  
and have put that number in the observatory (as Feb 2, 1,   
2:40 am and pm) but have not come out with a recognizable   
constellation.                                              
  Also I have gone in the imager room to try and get the    
message.  I push the middle button so the cloudy film clears
from the top of the imager and the mechanisms underneath are
visible.  Then I've opened the box behind the note and tried
to input 8.  However, the first time I change the number,   
the game freezes with the number showing 68.  I'd appreciate
it if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Actually, what you found was the time & code for the water  
tower. explore the island completely, then rotate the tower 
til the line is red(3 or 4 different angles of rotation)then
go up and check the key ladder, you'll find three or four   
more plaques on the wall. The map on the wall should show   
all the structures on the island. Read the books in the     
library-they give more hints. I'm not much farther than you,
I just started too. This looks to be quite detailed, I'm    
sure it wont take me too long to become completely lost and 
befuddled!

Dear Charles-                                               
  Thanks for the help!  Will move the tower again and then  
check for more plaques.

How or where did you get the white page. I am stuck in the  
room with the father and he asked for the page, and I do not
have it. How can I get back to Myst?

Since you finished the game, Can you P L E A S E tell me    
what to do or get started in the age with the windmill.  I  
am totally stuck and at a lost,  How do I begin to repair   
the bridge or is that not the first step?

  The first thing you will want to do is turn the water on  
up in the windmill.  Once you find and turn this switch,    
water will flow through the pipe.  Direct the water to the  
area you want to "power up" using the switches along the    
pipe.  If you can hear the water in the pipe as you walk    
along it, then it is flowing through that section.  Once you
divert water to the bridge, you can raise it.   -B-

There is one red and one blue page in each world, each page 
is returned to Mist individually. To return to Mist you must
solve the world.

I thought I solved the puzzle on the ship. I turned on the  
generator, went into the cave and found both papers. When I 
walk down to the room down in the ship it's too dark to see.
What do I have to do? I'd appreciate if you just told me a  
few hints not the whole description. Thanks.

OK, I am thinking about throwing in the towel and getting   
the hint book (just for a peek or two). Unfortunately, I    
can't find the paper that came with the game that had the   
offer on it. Would someone please post the 800 number that  
was on the enclosure? Thanks.

I don't see an 800 Number, but have (415)382-4600 and refer 
to code 319 it say $12.95 plus $2.20 SSH.

Thanks -- I definitely lost the original paper. $12.95 is a 
bit steep for a hint book, though -- about 1/2 of what I    
paid for the game!

where did you get the game for only $25.00 <g>. I paid      
$49.99 and thought that was a good price.

When software companies convert games like Myst from        
the Apple/Mac platform to the PC platform I don't           
understand why they don't also convert the video segments   
from the stupid QuickTime format to a native PC format (like
Microsoft for Windows). Since almost all the problems PC    
users are having with Myst are caused by QuickTime, this    
simple change would have eliminated most people's           
complaints.  I'm not a programmer but I can't imagine that  
simply converting the video segments would be that          
difficult.                                                  
                                                            
Anyway, I still can't get QuickTime to work for me.  I have 
an NEC 3Xi CD-ROM which I run from a SoundBlaster 16,       
SCSI-2.  If I transfer the QuickTime movies to my harddrive 
they play without problem.  I know I don't have a DMA or IRQ
problem because all other CD software works fine.  Any      
suggestions??                                               
                          Frustrated and Mystless, J. Hunt

Don't assume you don't have a DMA problem simply because you
have no problem with other CD-Rom titles. Myst stretches the
"envelope" of nearly all PCs. I too had no problem with     
other CD-Rom titles but could not get Myst to run faster    
than a glacier. I found that Gateway had set my new         
machine's DMA channel incorrectly, and that the card wasn't 
even at normal defaults. Once set correctly, Myst ran great.
I was getting good scores on M-Softs VidTest before, with   
the correct DMA setting (really fron no DMA to having DMA)  
I get fantastic scores. It way be worth a look.

My friend's system has a similar problem. He has a Gateway  
486/33 with SB Pro, but is using a Phillips CD-ROM unit and 
interface. Everything else from 7th Guest to MS Bookshelf,  
etc., runs OK, but Myst seems to almost completely lock up  
the system -- it looks like it cannot read the CD correctly.
We sometimes even get a message that the wrong CD is        
inserted! Maybe I'll check for DMA problems also!

I've been in the powerhouse and see that there's several    
ways to get 59 volts. Does it matter? Then, what do you do  
with the switches on top of the pylons? I can't seem to get 
the voltage out to the ship. I have uncovered the books in  
the gears and on the ship, but am stuck on this one. Can    
these all be solved before actually travelling to the other 
worlds?

I opted for 59 volts on both meters, but have read that 59  
volts on either works. Get 59 volts, switch one of the two  
tower switches and the door should open.                    
It makes no difference in what order you solve the 4 worlds.

The meters always read both the same for me -- is there some
other way to set the voltage? Also, you said to switch      
"either" of the tower switches -- so I just climb up either 
one of the towers and pull the handle down once? Is it      
normal for the handle to then spring back up? This is       
probably what was throwing me off track -- I would          
repeatedly try the switches on both towers.

The way to get 59 volts on both meters is to push the first 
and third buttons on the left, and the third and fourth     
buttons on the right. Anything over 59 volts will zero the  
right meter, and then you have to check both circuit        
breakers on each tower.

Tony there are 102 other puzzles in Myst that will take most
people months to solve. By that time they'll have Beneath a 
Killing Moon, Eleventh Hour, Outpost, etc. etc.

I guess I didn't notice this since I managed to find 4      
different ways to get 59 volts on both meters, but never did
exceed 59. However, even after setting the breakers on the  
two towers I did not see the ship's door open. There are    
just two breakers, right? Anything else to press near the   
ship?

It looks like MYST is a return for me.  I received a fax    
from Broderbund stating the following:                      
------                                                      
There is a know problem at this time between the Video      
7/Headland video card and Apple's QuickTime for Windows     
engine.  Due to the design and video sophistication of the  
program, Myst MPC requires QuickTime to run effectively.    
Myst is setup so that it could accept a patch for QuickTime 
if or when it becomes available.  Apple does not have a fix 
as of yet.  Symptoms of this problem are as follows:        
                                                            
* Unable to see the full animation of QuickTime movies      
* Split video                                               
* Animation half way off the screen                         
                                                            
Until that time, we may suggest trying the following which  
has helped a few find success:                              
Please go to the QuickTime init file and change the         
"optimize" section from "hardware" to "driver".  This has   
seemed to resolve the split screen problem.  To do this go  
to the QTW.INI file and you will see a line that says       
OPTIMIZE=HARDWARE.  Please change the line to read          
OPTIMIZE=DRIVER. This seemed to work for quite a few people,
however, it may slow down your system a little bit.  (Here  
is the kicker line.  They must not like to sell software)   
If the above information does not work for you, we must     
unfortunately suggest that you return the software from to  
the dealer from where it was purchased until Apple is able  
provide an update.                                          
----------                                                  
Well this did not work for me.  My QTW.INI did not even have
the above mentioned OPTIMIZE line.  I tried adding it, but  
it still did not work.  I will be returning this game ASAP. 
Hope this helps others out and keeps others from buying the 
game and wasting a lot of time like I have.  I have to say  
that I will not be purchasing anything from Broderbund      
and/or anything that uses QuickTime in the near future.

Vince, O.K. here's the scoop. BTW, my name is Bill, I live  
in Upstate New York and just about EVERY Packard Bell owner 
is having this problem.If you get a chance look up the info 
on a subject I started here called "Myst-Video Problems."   
Myst was designed by Apple Inc. Apple Inc. makes a very     
fast qtw.ini file.[quick time file for windows Mac          
based.]The qtw.ini file you will find in your WINDOWS >>>>> 
directory is NOT compatable with the qtw.ini needed to run  
Myst well. Unfortunately, Broderbund software did not know  
this. I called Tech Support at Broderbund and was told that 
they were "attempting to contact Headland Technologies but  
have been told that they may have relocated to Japan.       
Headland Technologies makes the video card for Packard      
Bell......SO.....here are your options                      
1. go into windows, go to file manager,go to Windows        
directory and bring up the qtw.ini file .You are going to   
edit this file while in Windows. On the TOP line add the    
following, [video],then enter, directly underneath it write>
optimize=driver, then enter, which will leave a space       
between this and the rest of your qtw.ini file. It looks    
something like this :   [video]                             
                        optimize=driver                     
                                                            
                      - then the rest of your qtw.ini file  
  then SAVE this, exit windows and then restart windows. The
video will aapear normal but slow, very slow.               
2. make sure your sound card drivers are the newest version 
3.make sure your CD-ROM drivers are the newest versions     
4.you might want to possibly contact Packard Bell BBS to>>> 
downlaod their latest qtw.ini file.I have not yet attempted 
this, though I am going to try this route.                  
5.Lastly the Tech told me if all else fails, simply return  
then game.Once Apple, Broderbund, and Headland Technologies 
get things together, expect a new version of Myst. Well, I  
hope all this helps. You're not alone in this. Anyone with a
Packard Bell with a HT video card will have the same        
problem. Best of luck. Bill Silverstein, GDCX15A

Just starting the game -- which switches are the "marker"   
switches? Are they the ones located near the gears, rocket  
ship, etc., or are they the "icons" located on the rows of  
columns outside the library (if not, then what are these    
"icons" used for)? Also, in general, how easy (difficult?)  
is it to work out the puzzles in this game? I can see that  
it could get very complicated in a hurry, for example    >> 
if some particular combination of switches is required for  
something (there are 8x7x6x5x4x3x2 possible combinations of 
switch settings!).                                          
                                                            
I can't decide whether to take my time and figure everything
out myself (as I did with 7th guest), or go looking for a   
lot of hints (as I usually do with adventure games with too 
many non-logical puzzles).

The marker switches are the ones that actually have the     
switch that you can put in the up or down position. The     
other ones around the pool with the sunken boat are for     
something else.  Read the books in the library, they'll help
you.

I was wondering about those books. There's a LOT of text in 
there to read! I also discovered the book that appears to be
full of some sort of coded patterns -- guess I'll figure out
where to use that information later.

You don't actually have to read all the books, but each     
readable book has a map of the world that the book is about.
In Channelwood, that can help. As far as the codes go in    
that last book on the second shelf, you'll find out about it
at the end. Sandi

I am having a hard time finding all 8 switches (I know there
are eight because I put in 7 in the imager and it didn't    
work so I tried 8). Anyways, I've found the one by the      
rocket, gears, contellation viewer, pool with ship, log     
cabin, The building to the right of the cabin, and I saw the
one on the island with that building. Where is the eigth,   
also how do I get over to that island to turn on the switch 
I've messed with the gears to no avail. Hoping someone will 
help.                                                       
                                Tim                         
                                                            
                                                            
    This game is much more difficult than Critical Path.

There's one along the walkway in the "garden" in front of   
the library (near the pool or fountain). To get to the clock
you must set the correct time on it using the wheels that   
are on the shore. You will find the time to set when you get
into the tower and find the clues. You have a little ways to
go!

I WOULD LIKE TO UTILIZE DMA. I KNOW I HAVE TO SPECIFY /M:D, 
IN MY DEVICE COMMAND (CONFIG.SYS) BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO   
FIND OUT WHAT MY DMA CHANNEL NUMBER IS. IS THERE A DOS      
COMMAND OR REFERENCE MANUAL THAT WOULD HELP ME OBTAIN THIS  
INFORMATION ?   ALSO ANY ADVICE ON BECOMING MORE TECHNICALY 
LITERATE?  THANX, TINA IN CT

Start with your card manual. It will tell you the factory   
defaults and where to look on the card. It will also tell   
you what all the switches mean in your config.sys when you  
loaded the program. Chances are it was factory set to use   
DMA (direct memory access). Be aware that even the factory  
goofs. The Gateway machine I just received had the wrong    
switch setting in the factory config.sys. Good Luck.

I have the red page, and found the blue too.  But you can   
only carry one at a time I assume.                          
                                                            
I can no way, no way get the generator in the lighthouse to 
work.  Can't see in the room down in the boat - Need help in
a hurry.  How do you fire it up the generator in the        
lighthouse?  Jrru04a Babs

You can only carry one page at a time, so if you want to    
bring both pages back from each Age you must visit them all 
twice.  Of course, sooner or later you'll have to decide    
which brother is telling the truth...                       
                                                            
There is a separate switch for the lights in the boat.      
Check the passageways in the rock carefully.

Thanks Steve for telling me about the fireplace. I have     
another question.  I just brought back the two pages from   
the stoneship age. But in the room with the skeleton there  
was a half of a piece of white paper with words on it where 
do I find another half if there is one.  Thanks.

What I did is I traveled to the Stoneship age and wrote down
what I could of the white piece of paper, then I traveled to
the other age where the other piece is and I copied that    
down and combined them.

Hi. I could use a tip. I managed to get the spaceship going 
and landed on the barren Myst planet. I activated all the   
red buttons and found the two (notes ?). I cant seem to     
access the door to the elevator, nor operate the control    
panel with the screen.  What's up ? Did I come to this      
planet unprepared ? Thanks for the help.  Yale Popowich

 Help!                                                      
I need help with the 2,2,1 gears in the clock.  Since they  
turn either the top two or the bottom two at a time the     
combo 221 is not possible.  What am I missing?              
                                                            
Second:  the tall tree.  It seemed to have rotated after    
turning the boiler fully, but I'm still missing something.  
Since I'm still unable to do anything with it.              
                                                            
 Must I read all those books page for page?  Must I copy all
300 8X6 puzzle??                                            
                                                            
I have levitated the ship...still working on the levers &   
the piano thingy.  I don't know what to do with the piece of
paper I found by docks. (in switch, not ground) it's niether
red nor blue.  I dare not 'jump' into the book in the boat  
for fear of being lost in it before doing all these other   
puzzles.

you're in the Mechanical Age. If so, we're just as stuck as 
you are. We have made it through the Stone Age, if you need 
help, write back. Tell you father (Brad) Hi for me.         
                                                            
John & Sean Murchison (Santa Maria, Ca)

Ken, I've waited long enough. I can't stand it! Several     
questions:                                                  
1) What, in the world, do you do with the firepalce???      
2) We're stumped in the Selentic Age (Barren planet)? Pushed
all buttons, set all quardenants & can not get that door    
open to what I guess is a maze or something.                
3) Ben through Channelwood. Can not find anthing other than>
a w ay way back to Island of Myst via the book, HELP!       
4) Stuck BIG TIME in Mechanical Age... been several places, 
just haven't figured how to turn the thing!                 
                                                            
Any Help would be very much appreciated... good clues rather
than the answer would be fine too.                          
                                                            
Thanks, MURCH

OK, I have a question, actually quite a few. Please go back 
to Subjects, pick Myst, and it is probably the most recent  
note there. PLEASE REPLY!!

I am stuck in the mechanical age. I have been to both rooms 
and the secret rooms in each. I have the blue page and know 
where the red page is. I read the other note in the wine    
bottles and have opened and rode up on the elevator. But    
what is the point of the elevator. I copied the etchings on 
the wall while the elevator is going. My ? is how do I get  
back to Myst Island with my page?  What else do I have to do

When you ride the elevator to the top, REALLY look around.  
The way back to Myst is in sight. Access is the contrary    
to what you would normally do in an elevator. Cryptic       
response, I know, but don't want to give away an answer that
may ruin the game for you, at least not until you ask.      
P.S.  The give away answer lives elsewhere on this BB.

Michael: I found the two switches on the top of the         
elevator, but when I click on them nothing happens. Was I   
suppose to do something before going up in the elevator?  I 
never did figure out the dial and switch thing at the very  
begining of the mechanical age.  Does that solve the problem
and if it does, I sure don't know the symbols or where to   
find the answer.  I know there are two switches or levers on
top of the elevator, but nothing I do activates them.       
Please help.

How do I use the match in the boiler room.  I'm clicking on 
everything (I turned the handle) but nothing seems to happen

Stuart,                                                     
  You touch the match to the pilot light, which is in the   
lower left corner of the boiler. Then you go to the wheel   
and turn it (green arrows) all the way open. You will know  
because it won't turn any more. Then you can go and figure  
out the puzzle to get to the watch tower.

Ah, I tried turning the gas on first.  It's really hard to  
tell what's happening here because I got no visual feedback 
from the game.

Did you try to light the match?  Use the match on the       
matchbox, then it will light, and then you can go light the 
pilot light on the stove.

  Letssee,                                                  
   Like someone else, I keep hitting all 3 of the symbols on
the towers but no ship comes up and nothing happens, I feel 
that I have left out the previous step or something.  I     
don't get it.  Could someone start with the boiler, in      
exactness, and go on till I get to a different world   >>>>>
I mean, I set the boiler on and nothing...  I can set the   
power for the FIRST box to 51, but can't get both to 51 ( if
that is the right number)...  And I'm just stuck, at these 3
places...  Also..  I did the tower, you know the 2 7 4 or   
whatever it is... But I didn't gain from it....  I mean     
nothing happend, no one spoke to me, I didnt get anything...
whats with that?

Get a match from the safe next to door inside boiler room,  
fire up the boiler, when banging starts quickly go outside  
and behind cabin  -- pay attention to the tree.

  HI, I'm stuck. I was wondering what to do.  I have entered
the rocket, I don't quite know what to do in there. I guess 
that I have to go read in the library.  I am afraid to go   
into some of the other ages for the fact that I might not   
return.  I found the book in the gear and underneath the    
tree, and the one on the boat.  Now what?  How am I supposed
to enter the #8 into the imager?  Please help.

In the library there was a book that showed a piano         
keyboard.  You must play the notes, listen and then go to   
console and enter the same tone by moving the levers.  When 
you have all 5 set, pull the large lever.

All I can tell you is to play the notes and just keep trying
to get it set on the console the first 3 notes go up the    
scale the next two down. *                                  
                        *  -                                
                       -     *                              
                     *        *                             
This is only to give you an ideal, but maybe it will help.  
From the 1st lever, botton go:                              
8,20,23,13,6

The answer to the fortress lies with the elevator. For more,
see my answer more towards the beginning of the section.

Tony,                                                       
You should have found 4 different symbol to enter into the  
console (at the place you entered the age).  This will      
reveal a hidden staircase you entered to exit.  If you're   
really struck, I'll try to explain them as best I can.

  Ok, now I don't know what to do. I've been in the age from
the spaceship, and I have finished that. I can't find a red 
or blue page in channelwood, I don't know what I am supposed
to do with the controls in the mechanical age, and where are
the pages in that age. I'm really confused. How many pages  
are you supposed to give the brothers? Don't they kill you  
if you give them too many? Also thank you for that last---- 
answer Barbara.  It was greatly appreciated.

Hello again,                                                
In channelwood, go to the umbrella, hit the 2nd pump button 
down.  Go in the first tunnel and open the drawers in the   
bedroom in the tall drawer.  In the second tunnel, which    
also will be empty of water too, it's just lying right in   
the open on the bed.                                        
In the Mechanical Age, When you enter the bedroom, look care
fully behind the tapestry hanging, there a secret door.

I am in the mechanical age. I have found the pages and the  
note from the other brother. I would like to get back to    
Myst. I know there are levers on top of the elevator but I  
don't know how to activate them. How does that happen? Also 
what are the symbols for the machine at the entrance to this
age?  Please advise.

If it's possible can someone tell me about myst? I          
personally loved indiana jones 4 and the dagger of amon ra  
and the lost files of sherlock holmes, but I hated inca, all
ad&d games, and alone in the dark. I'd like to know about   
the graphics(if they compare with police quest 4 or are they
a different style. I'd also like to know about the storyline
 and how you personally like it. Oh ya! also sound.         
               thanks so very! very! much,

Sam,                                                        
The game is like nothing we've playing before.  The graphics
are wonderful, there are different ages you go to - each    
place is a maze or puzzle in itself.  going by the games you
have playing solving things - this should be right up your  
alley.  Besides we could always use another helper in       
figuring it out.  Go Buy it.  Jrru04a Barb

   What he means (from reading his previous complaints about
this game) is that Myst does not flow smoothly from location
to location the way 7th Guest does.  This is hardly a flaw  
in the game.  The transitions in 7th Guest were nice the    
first time or two walking through the house, but then they  
became tedious.  Myst uses the CD space to create MANY more 
locations to visit, rather than transitions.  I've played   
nearly every game on the market, CD included, and here are  
Myst's strong points.  It has a very unusual story line     
(especially for a computer game), and you learn it at your  
own pace (7th Guest's story didn't make much sense even     
after the game was finished). Myst has a feature to allow   
you to move quickly from location to location.  It's        
graphics, while not featuring transitions, are even better  
looking than 7th Guest's graphics.  The puzzles in Myst deal
with the environment you explore, whereas 7th Guest's       
puzzles are like board games strewn about a house for no    
apparent reason.  Both games have good music, but the >>    
music and sound in Myst is less glaring and, in my opinion, 
better suits the mood of the game.  The acting in Myst is   
not nearly as hammy as that in 7th Guest.  However, Myst's  
strongest point is the way its puzzles are integrated into  
the story and force you to make choices about which         
characters to trust.  Don't get me wrong - I liked both     
games.  Myst, however, is an UNUSUAL game, by gaming        
standards.  If you don't like it, take it back, but I       
personally recommend it.

I thought it was great.  good graphics.  interesting sound. 
a mental challegnge --- not just how fast can you move your 
thumb on the "trigger".  I keep reading about problems      
running this ona PC.  I don't know about that.  I ran it on

I've read most of these notes but nobody has said anything  
about speech. Does it have complete speech, just partial    
like in RTZ, or none at all? Also, someone please compare it
to Return to Zork in regard to the puzzles, challenge and   
length. One more thing, what are the system requirements for
running the game (well).  Please write back--

I've got a 486 33mhz local video with a Tseng ET4000 board. 
I'm running a Philips double speed CD-Rom, and am using a   
Sound Blaster Pro board.  I just can't get the game to run  
at all.  The Making of Myst starts out fine but then turns  
choppy.  The game starts out but locks up just after the    
book opens.  I've tried every imaginable tweak to memory,   
loaded all of the newest drivers, and followed all of the   
suggestions Borderstupidbunds faxed to me.  Am I at a dead  
end with my system as it relates to this game???  I'm at the
point of thinking the Soundblaster can't handle it.  If     
thats the case then I'm looking to spend a couple of hundred
bucks in order to play one $45.00 game, which is the only   
game that won't perform on my system.                       
                                                            
Any suggestions would be appreciated.  If it's upgrading the
sound board say it softly so my wife doesn't hear.

I have a 386/33, a soundblaster-pro and a Creative-Omni

have had no problems in windows 3.1. Doesn't sound like it's
your soundblaster. How much RAM do you have installed?

Your not alone,                                             
I have the same problems, and I'm using a 486DX2/66 with    
8MEG of RAM, CD-ROM drive, SVGA-LOCAL BUS.  I sometimes have
problems with just installing the game.  (Getting read      
errors from the CD), I've tried it on another identical     
system, and it works just fine.  The only thing that I can  
think of, is the CD-ROM driver, supplied with your CD-ROM.  
It doesn't seem to like the Mitisumi, but likes the SONY    
driver.  I need to find a new driver for Mitisumi, anyone   
have one?

Hi Kevin,  I think you have the answer.  Spent all day just 
goofing around with settings etc.  Nothing much helped.  I  
am of the opinion at this point that the cdrom driver is at 
fault.  I even loaded the myst directory and mscdex into a  
ram drive and tried it that way.  No help.  Anyway thanks   
for the reply.  Regards Joe Fec.

Have you tried creating virtual memory with the windows     
control panel. The trouble shooting guide has details on how
to do it under MEMORY. I had some error messages until I did
this and then all my problems went away.

I have a 486/40, 16 Megs, Soundblaster 16 SCSI-2, with NEC  
3Xe triple speed, and I have similar problems - lockup in   
"The making of Myst" at different points, and lockups in the
game. I have tried the latest SCSI and SB16 drivers, and it 
has gotten worse...sigh

Wayne - I've got a set-up similar to yours (SB16,SCSI-2 and 
NEC 3Xi) and am also having the same problem.  After much   
tinkering, I believe there is an incompatibility problem    
between the Adaptec CD-ROM driver (the one for the          
SB16,SCSI-2) and QuickTime for Windows when using the NEC   
3Xi.  If I transfer "The Making of Myst" to my harddrive (I 
have a large harddrive), I can get it to play fine, but it  
won't play from my CD-ROM drive.  On the other hand, other  
video formats such as Microsoft Video for Windows will play 
from my CD-ROM drive without a hitch.  So I think the       
problem is QuickTime in combination with our CD-ROM driver  
when used with the 3Xi.  Unfortunately, I don't know if     
there is a solution other than waiting for an updated       
version of QuickTime or of the Adaptec CD-ROM driver.       
Please, please let me know if you find another solution.

I want to know which pages to get? I think I have been      
pretty successful at figuring out how t get and what to do  
in the ages but I am curious to know if I should get both   
blue and red or just red because Achenar is evil or is      
Sirrus evil. Please answer????

Certainly Achinar is a little unbalanced and Sirus seems to 
be very reasonable.  However, things aren't always what they
seem.  If you've been searching all the ages, you've seen   
each brother's living areas. Maybe there are clues to their 
personalities there.  Sorry to be so evasive- but it's      
something every player should decide for themselves.        
If you really want a strait answer just turn the page -     
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX                                  
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxX                                  
    Actually - you should get both pages in all the ages.   
You don't have to make a choice until after 5 pages.  The   
sixth page is the key page and will free either brother - if
that's what you want to do.  There is another choice- which 
will become obvious when it arises

I have both halves of the note giving instructions on how to
access the vault, have carried out those instructions to the
tee and yet can't find the vault ("in very plain view",     
indeed!!). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The note suggests that you turn off all the marker switches 
on the island.  What must be done is that all of the        
switches must be turned on, then turn the one switch on the 
dock off, this will produce your white page(bottom of marker
switch open up).

Maybe it is not working because you have not turned the     
marker switch on the clock tower on.

Hello all you MYST people, I'm wondering if any of you are  
getting errors as you are playing this game. Once I get     
these errors the game kicks me out of the game back into    
windows. BUT I have to reboot my system if I want to play   
the game again.                                             
                                                            
I have a 486DX50 with 634K of conventional memory and 16    
megs of ram..                                               
                                                            
I'm going to call Broderdund  on monday if I can't get this 
game to stop comming up with errors..                       
                                                            
Thanks.

Ok people here are some of the error's I get and where it   
happens. There are only 2 places I get errors.              
                                                            
The first place is the Fore-Chamber when I'm retriving the  
message, how long is this message, I'm not too sure I get   
all of it for part of it. He doesn't say where the "books"  
are. This is the error's I get in this part of the game:    
Error in the resLoad in Aview:: Exitview

Ok I open the book on the ship and enter it, I go into the  
Light house and "try" and pick up the key that is on the    
floor, but I end up getting this error:

MYST on there computer, I get the same error;s in the same  
spot as on my computer. After rebooting the system I use    
there MYST disk and get no error's. So they gave me another 
dish to try, so far no problems. Also the screen on this new
disk is much brighter and the colors are richer. So it looks
like I had a bad disk !!  I'm still clueless on the cabin

To anyone who has finished Myst,                            
    I've heard some people here talk about being able to use
the Myst linking book to move around freely to any age you  
want after going to the Dunny age.  Is this possible?  I've 
picked up the book from the man at the end (I won't give it 
away), but it just takes you back to the library.  Is this  
possible or is there anything else you can do after         
finishing the game?  Are there any differences on Myst or in
any other ages?

Remember that in this game, sound is everything. Watch what 
happens as you press the various buttons on the 'weird"     
machine. If you need more, e-mail for a private response so 
as not to post an answer others may not wish to see.

Here's a quick walkthrough of all the steps you'll need to  
take to  unlock the secrets of the myst.Keep in mind that   
the game does not have a strictly linear structure.You can  
explore the four ages-Selenitic,Stoneship,Mechanical and    
Chanelwood-in any order of what you wish.My solution        
sequence  was chosen arbitrarily!I'll start with an         
explanation  of the map mechanissm in the library.>>>>>>>>>>
Understanding how the map works is the key to unlocking the 
other wonders of myst,including travel to the four ages.    
Important:Please read the following section about the map   
first!Much of the Walkthrough is based on the assumption    
that you know how the map works.

Hiya,                                                       
   Alright, I am posting a subject because I am not         
receiving decent feedback when I post a question -- I rarely
receive more then one response due to people assuming       
someone has already answered my question or someone HINTING 
and not HELPING.  Trust me, helping on 1 thing, or even 10  
things on Myst is not going to ruin the game, there are  >>>
enough puzzles and problems to figure out that you can trust
me you wont spoil it.  Alright, now on to the important     
stuff.  I am having all these problems and no idea on what  
to do:                                                      
 1) I programmed in 59, and It only powers up the left side 
of the engines...  What more can I do?  And after I do that,
what is the result of that?  Where do I go next?            
 2) In the Channelwood era, which I got to thru the pole    
behind the burner --  I walked around for a LONG time only  
to find a MYST book.  There was one elevator I couldn't open
<Locked?> that was right of a twirling staircase         >>>
how does this one open? and what do I find up there? and    
what do I do with my findings?                              
 3) I set the lighthouse correctly to the 3 numbers, and it 
locked in place -- What was the point of that? I didn't have
any change in anything?  Where do I go from there?          
 4) I hit the 3 symbols on the structures i.e. Leaf, Snake, 
Beetle.  No change in the small boat, no change seen.  What 
do I get out of this?  what do I do next?  What have I done 
wrong?                                                      
 5) The rocket door won't open.  What have I done wrong?    
                                                         >>>
Finally,                                                    
 6) I read all I could at the 4 books in the library, all   
weren't very helpfull except the one with the stars to tell 
me the symbol meanings...  Why do I check them, or don't I? 
 What is with all these replacing of 'Pages'?  Inly pages I 
have seen is one laying at the beginning - a note to a      
Catherine, and the two that were in the library which I put 
in the fuzzy animated books of the two children... What else
is there?  Any whY?                                         
                 Thanks a ton!  Please... Please try to help

  First off, you are probably not getting many replies      
because these same questions have, for the most part, been  
answered on this BB, often repeatedly.  People don't want to
spend the time and messages replying to something that has  
already been said.  Backdate your responses and read for    
yourself.  But here are answers to a few of your questions. 
   1) If you tried to power up the generator, failed, and   
turned it off, you have to reset the circuit.  Notice that  
the voltage to the ship originally worked, until you shut it
off.  Go outside and follow the power lines to the ship (you
DID notice that's where they went, I hope).  At two of the  
pillars along the lines, there are ladders.  Go up and flip 
the switches.  Then redo the generator to 59 volts.  This   
will open the spaceship.                                    
  2) To operate things in Channelwood, go up to the windmill
and turn the water on.  Follow the water down the branching 
pipes, using the switches to direct it where you want it to 
go.  If the water is flowing the the correct location, it   
will "power up" the thing that the pipes lead to.           
   3) Solving the clock tower opens up the gears near the   
dock (to the Mechanical Age).                               
   4) You aren't doing something right with the little boat.
   6) Figure out the plot yourself.  It is only revealed    
gradually, and that is one of the strengths of the game.    
   Contrary to your belief, there are not THAT many puzzles 
in this game.  If you get too many hints it will fly by too 
quickly.  Try to be more thorough in your search (you should
have figured out number 3 by just looking around). There is 
a logical reason for everything in the game.     -B-

This is a game in which the object is to figure out what one
has to do.  There is no time limit. There are no death traps
. The graphics are suberb. The puzzles are challenging but  
not impossible. The climax is somewhat of a letdown but that
is a small quibble.  All in all this is an excellent game in
which one can think about what one is doing and appreciate  
it.       Steve

I am on the first part of this game. The biggest problem I  
am having is in the library. There are 2 books by themselves
a red and blue (I think) When I open them I get a very      
scratchy and fading video. How can this be corrected?       
                                                            
Also how do you know which land you are in? Is the first    
land called Myst?                                           
People have gotten quite far in a short time. I have        
explored the first land and checked out the map, etc in the 
library.

The scratchiness will fade somewhat (very slightly) as you  
keep finding pages to put into each book. Sandi

Sandy,                                                      
                                                            
Are these found in the first world? or other places?        
Also I see a page next to one book in the library, I can    
pick it up but not read it or seem to be able to do anything
with it.                                                    
There is also a paper on the steps leading up to the "gear",
that the "hand" does not seem to be able to pick up?        
                                                            
After watching the "video message", do you have to go to all
the places again to see if anything changed? I thought I had
gotten all the info (like the library "key" etc.)

Each age will have a set of pages. You have to go to each   
age twice to get them both. As for the age with all the     
houses, you'll have to set the water pipes to flow in the   
right direction so they power the elevators. There are only 
4-5 books that you can read on the bookshelf, the rest have 
been burned. You get back to Myst by finding the book in    
each age, and clicking on it. Sandi

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, but I've been without 
a computer for several weeks. I'm borrowing one tonite..    
just couldn't take it w/o a computer any more <g>. Anyway, I
hope you're further along and have figured some things out. 
The red pages you find in the worlds go in the red book, the
blue pages go in the blue book. You need to go back to each 
world twice.. once for each colored page as you can only    
carry one page at a time. The only page I remember seeing on
Myst was the one by the steps near the wharf that tells you 
to count the monitors or transformers (or whatever.. the    
word fails me) and input them in the room you find on the   
wharf. Once you've done that, you need to go back to the    
library. Click on the paintings and you'll find a room      
behind the bookcase. Use the map and once you get a red     
line, go up the elevator to the observatory, and write down 
the numbers you see on the key stairs. Then go outside and  
figure out where to use the numbers (looking through the    
slit in the observatory will help). Once you've solved>     
a puzzle, a abook will appear. Click on the book to enter   
the new world. You'll have to read the books to figure out  
the answers to some puzzles.. like the sunken ship south of 
the library. Sandi

I can't raise the spaceship. I've powered both generators to
59 volts, and I've pulled both of the power switches on the 
high latters and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Where do you find the keys? I've climbed the ladder with the
book on it, but haven't found any keys. Also have only found
one tower with a power switch on it (near the rocket).      
Where's the other one? Thanks, Sandi

In the librarry there is a book ( I dont remember the color)
that has a picture of a piano keyboard and a numerical      
sequence of keys. Remeber this. Go to the ship and play the 
sequence on the piano to hear each tone. On the opposite    
side of the ship each lever will correspond to one tone     
which is why you must remember the tone. Do them one at     
atime. After all five levers have been set, pull the big    
lever down and you're off !  Once there, see if you can help
me, b/c I'm stuck in this world !

Well I'm 95 years old.......just kidding, I'm really 16.    
Well anyway about the lights.  To turn them on, you have to 
get acess to the top of the lighthouse.  You probably are   
trying to unlock that #%$%^% key, right?  Have you seen that
chest on the bottom of the lighthouse?  Hint: bring the     
chest to the key, not the key to the chest.

I'm playing the IBM-CD version and I'm done with the        
Mechanical Age. My step is Stoneshhip Age. I did everything 
to activate the lighthouse and got 130 degrees or so from   
the telescope-like device. I cannot enter either one of the 
stone walled passages and the room down the stairs is too   
dark to see. I cannot any device to turn the lights on.     
Where is the switch? Is the fact that I cannnot go through t
the stone walled pasages a bug on the IBM version? Any help 
or hint will be appreciated. Thanx.

If you walk along one of the planked walkways you will      
arrive at an object that has three switches.  Pressing one  
of the switches will open the stone passageways, another    
will get the water out of the lighthouse, while the last    
will allow you to enter the room in the boat.

To turn the lights on down in the boat, you have to go down 
in the room where the sun dial looking thing is on the floor
and push the 12th button from the top.  Be sure you have    
charged up the generator in the lighthouse.  This will turn 
on the submersible lanterns and you will be able to see     
where to go once you get down in the ship.  Good luck!

If you explore the island, you'll come to an umbrella with  
three switches under it. Pushing different switches pumps   
water out of different areas. As for the the light.. you'll 
have to check out the light house. Pump out the water from  
the light house, turn the petcock on the chest to dump the  
water out of it. Turn the water back on so the chest        
floats.. that will get you upstairs in the light house>>    
Once up there, turn the generator to provide light in the   
concrete tunnels. Also, while in the tunnels, check out the 
sides of the tunnels, one of them has a secret door. Sandi

I've checked out Arena and it looks good. I'm holding off   
tho...my computer has developed a slight glitch, and I'm    
sending it back to the place I bought it for a physical.    
Take care, Sandi

Help!  Everything works while playing Myst, but whenever I  
want to restore a saved game I get the error message:       
"Cannot find Myst CD in CD ROM Drive." It will not find the 
CD even though it is in the drive.  I can only CTRL-ALT-DEL 
out of it.  Can someone help me with this aggravating

Thanks for your response.  It turns out that the problem was
Norton Desktop 3.0.  As soon as I swithced back to progman  
everything worked fine.  Norton cannot be running at all    
(either as the shell or otherwise).  Perhaps this will help 
someone else.

I'm thinking about buying Myst, but have a question.  Is    
movement 3D like Wolfenstein or 7th Guest, or does it       
simply have changing pictures, like Hell Cab or Laberynth   
of Time?  How real is the movement in the game?  Thanks

From what I've played so far, it can be set up either to    
dissolve between movements or to replace one picture with   
another.  There is no sense of real movement.  Howevver, I  
don't find this to be a major stumbling block to what seems 
to be a really enjoyable game.

I recently purchased MYST for my PC and I can recommend it  
highly. While there is very little animation involved the   
games is an excellent exercise in problem-solving. The      
graphics are mostly stills, but they are beautifully        
rendered and do a great job of setting a very surrealistic  
mood. I would suggest buying it at a retailer that allows   
returns as not everybody likes games like this one.

anything away) and just overall goodness!

I opened the spaceship and I went to another world. There   
are these things that make sound and you press a button.    
Then there is a little house thing and there is a code      
outside the door and you have to make a combo of the sounds 
to get in (I think.) I don't know what to do. I've gone     
underground and went up another manhole and found a wierd   
looking machine that I don't know what it does.HELP!!!!!!!!!

walk around, search everything. Go into all the buildings.  
First thing to do is climb the stairs up from the wharf,    
pick up the note and read it. You can then drop it. The note
gives you a hint on how to get started. Sandi

You just started? And you're refering to the imager in the  
note you found next to the steps, just up from the wharf? If
you go back down, and check the walls carefully, you'll     
notice a "panel" on the side of the wall. Click on it and it
opens. Sandi

 I'm on the mechanical island and can't figure out how to   
rotate the fortress...I've seen what I believe are the      
controls on top of the central elevator, but I can't figure 
out how to access them...I've been in the two 'secret' rooms
and other than the pages have found nothing! Anybody, please
help!!!                                                     
   P.S. I think this game is pretty cool, even without >    
full-blown movement graphics such as T7G. People should     
judge the game on it's own merit, not their own

You have to go up in the elevator and then press the middle 
button.  You will have a few seconds to get out of the      
elevator before it will go down half way revealing the      
controls for you to use.

Make sure that all the marker switches on the island are ON.
Then click on the picture to open the bookcase. Go upstairs 
and check out the "observation" slit and then go up the     
other ladder and find a set of numbers or instructions.     
You'll need to use that information at different places on  
the island. Once you solve a problem, come back to the map, 
rotate the "gears" (or whatever you want to call it)>       
so the red line meets another spot on the island. Go back up
through the bookcase, and check out the new site and number.
Do that several times..a nd that should get you started.

HELP!! I just started this game and already I'm STUCK! I    
read the note, counted the switches(6), and found the       
imager. Now what?! I press the button on the pot and it     
doesn't do anything. Where do I enter in the number of      
markers?!

There are eight marker switches on the island.  Putting this
number into the imager will produce your image.

Forgot to mention where to enter number.  When you enter the
room where the imager is turn around and click on the paper 
on the wall.  The paper has words with corresponding numbers
on it.  On the wall (upper left) is a button,click on this. 
 This is where you enter your number.  Now turn around and  
press the button on the imager.

Count how many markers there are on the island. Then, down  
by the wharf where you first started, is a door in the wall.
Click on it, enter the room. Check the walls and click on on
the "note" hanging on one of the walls. Sandi

I'vr got all of the information from the tower and I started
with the clock tower, rotated it, found the book and entered
the mechanical age (I think that it at least) I'm in a      
fortress and totally confused. I went back and found        
Chanelwood through the tree and got confused there too! Can 
someone help me in either age?! Thanks!

I'm not going to tell you much, except Stay Away From the   
Stoneship age.It is incredibly frustrating.It has alot to do
with the Constalations, and the Constalation room.Oh yeah,  
try turning on all the Marker switches too.That Might       
Help.Then Go to The library map, rotate it to the red line  
you want, And Go up the Stairs to the Tower.

I am really confused in this age.  So far I have traveled

noises and I pressed every button next to all of the        
different sounds.  I see there is a door but I can't open   
it.  I'm guessing that you have to make a combo of different
sounds to open it. PLEASE HELP I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS

You need to know what sounds and what order to open the     
door. Have you been to the island in the bay? You get there 
by an underground tunnel at the wind noise.  Once there,    
open up the device and it will be obvious what to do.

another and found a wierd machine.  I don't know how to use 
it.  I can't open the door either.  Please show me how.  I  
have found all 5 sounds and pressed each button.  I've tried
opening the door by a combo of sounds on which one I heard  
1st, 2nd, ect.  I also tried the order it shows on the

OK, here goes.  goto the Machine. open the cabinet-like     
doors. move left and right w/ the buttons. aim the crosshair
 at different sattelite dishes. you will hear the sound if  
its the right dish. after doing this to all, press button   
shaped like a distorted E. this will give you the order to  
put into the door

door to open.  I've rotated the viewfinder and pressed the  
button corresponding to the sound but now what.  The numbers
that show on the viewfinder don't seem to be of any help as 
I still dont know how to enter them into the door.          
Plenty mahalo for any help.

I can help but ... more fun to do it yourself.              
                                                            
You need to draw a map.  Listen to sounds: N=small bell     
(bing), W=bird sound (twree), E= Airbrake, S= bell clank,   
NE, NW,SE,SW are combnations of two. If you can't do it let 
me know via e-mail

I've been doing pretty well, and I think I have this world  
figured out, but I have no idea where to find the blue and  
red pages here. I've figured out the pumps, and explored the
upper level, (I think) but I can only find the book back to 
Myst, and no pages... If anyone could help me, it would be  
much appreciated.

HELP!!! I've been up to the windmill, and everything I try  
to do seems like it doesn't have any effect..the water-turn 
thing, the lever on the pump.I've followed the pipes, but   
trying to switch the direction, the lever jumps back. I     
really want to get out of here, and get the pages, but I'm  
stuck, stuck, stuck!!! If anyone could help, I'd be         
eternally grateful..What am I doing wrong?...thanks!  L.

On the second level you need to pull the lever that opens   
the door to the stairway back down to level 1.The lever is  
located on the far side of level 2 near the elevator        
from level 1.  This gives you easy access to level 2. Then  
you have to redirect the water to the motor that runs the   
elevator to the 3rd level - which is conveniently beneath   
that elevator      Steve

Okay thanks for the help but I don't really understand.     
When you say pull the lever that opens the stairway so I can
have easy acess to level one, which one do you mean?  Do you
mean the lever that is in the other elevator?  Is there a   
different lever?  The only lever I can find is the one in   
the other elevator.

Make sure that you search the entire 2nd level.  You should 
find a tree hut with a lever that opens the doorway.  It is 
about 3 or 4 huts away from the 1-2 elevator and has a view 
of the stairway and the 2-3 elevator

To get to the Stoneship Age you may want to raise the ship  
in the fountain (Outside the Library), pay attention to the 
surrounding symbols. Knowing your constellations will help  
with this one.                                              
Selentic Age (Barren Plant) You must fly the space ship.    
Ever play the piano? There's a book in the Library that will
help.    Good Luck, MURCH

are there.--Erin (geez, I hope I didn't give away too much!)

Sorry, but according to the "Official Guide to MYST", that's
all there is. Your "reward" is similar to the "reward" when 
solving "7th Guest" : an "open house" type feature that     
allows you to journey to all the Myst Islands as much as you
want. I agree they should've made a more elaborate ending.  
Hopefully the makers of MYST will keep that in mind for     
MYST2, which apparently will involve helping the man search 
for his wife in some additional, stranger islands. I have no
idea when they'll be coming out with this sequel, though...

P.S. - From the time you give the guy the white page, click 
on the book on the desk to go back to the mainland of MYST, 
which will allow you to jouney through the island in "Open  
House"-type style...

I have looked and looked and looked.  Where is the white    
page?  Is it the one with the hint that is on the ground on 
Myst Island?  Or is it the two pieces that talk about the   
markers and how to open the vault?  Or is it something else.

The white page is hidden behind one of the switches on the  
"main" MYSt island. The two half-pages tell you how to      
switch the levers so that the "secret compartment" opens to 
reveal the page. If you'd rather not search around to see   
what the two page halves say, just switch all eight switches
"ON", then go to the dock and turn that marker switch "OFF".
The "white page" will be revealed in a secret compartment...

Please -- Can anyone help me find the white page to end the 
game?  I've found the note on Myst Island and the two halves
of the note that explain the marker switches, but I can't   
fing any note to actually pick up and carry except the red  
ones and the blue ones.  Please help!  I'm sooooo           
frustrated!                                                 
Thanks ----  Ken

Ken,                                                        
This is only from what I've read, I have not finished the   
game, but I think you turn the marker switch near the dock  
off - it's a vault that will open and reveal the other half 
of the note.

Agreed!!!!! Distressing, isn't it, after being immersed in  
the Myst world, and then that's it...I felt the same way    
when I finished T7G. It's as if the designers thought, well,
let's just end the damn thing and get it over with. Where is
Catherine?! Didn't you just love "I'm fighting a larger foe,
I may need your services in the future." blah blah blah.    
Boy, what a lead on. I almost feel like a lover scorned!>>  
For all the fablulous graphics, quicktime (which wasn't so  
quick on my system due to it's own quircks and nonsense),   
and so forth, the ending was a real letdown. Is it time to  
petition software designers for better endings? Games that  
take longer than 4 days to play? Maybe it's juts me...--Erin

I don't know much of the truth to this, and I would hate to 
disappoint those of you that bought it, but there might be a
problem with the version you got.  I saw it at my local     
Software Etc. store and went price shopping at other stores,
none of which had it (big chains, too.) Many of them said   
that the version just released was buggy and was recalled   
and will be rereleased in the next week or two.  That is >> 
why most chains don't have it.  And they usually gave the   
same reason.  Let me know if this is incorrect and I should 
go ahead and get it.  IS is buggy?

Yes, but what about that graphical claim?  Being a big T7G  
fan, I drooled at the still shots of Myst, hoping for 3d    
walkthroughs comparable to T7G.  Is it full-motion, or just 
a series of still photos as you move between the scenes?

You can set it so the screens fade from one picture to      
another, or the screen jumps from picture to picture like a 
slide show. The game is great tho. Lots of puzzles, in some 
respects more difficult than 7th guest.. because you have to
walk through several screens, areas sometimes up into trees 
or down into sunken ships to solve several parts of the     
puzzle before it can be "entirely" solved.  I think it's>   
similar to 7th Guest in many respects.. but more detailed   
and at least it has a plot ...  You're not stuck in just a  
house, but get to travel all over an island, and several    
different worlds too. If you're not sure, get it from a     
company that will allow you to return it if you don't like  
it. Sandi

A.J.,   I took it back because it is a slide show.It claims 
on the box to leapfrog ahead of 7th Guest.It is a bunch of  
stills with puzzles.Good graphics if you like photos.

Hi--i just got the ibm myst...i'm using a zeos 486/66,      
diamond speedstar pro card, and a sb pro, with a mitsumi 2x 
drive.  I am caching my cdrom driver at 64, with a 3072     
smartdrive cache (i have 8 megs total) Yet, with all this   
firepower, i am getting a LOT of jerky pauses with the game,
starting, for example, with the Broderbund logo at the      
beginning, and also, e.g., with the imager.  Ideas? Peter

Have you tried increasing the amount of 'virtual memory'    
available to Windoze? I did, and Myst is running smoother on
my 486/33 with 4 megs of RAM.  Hopefully this will work for 
you.  Sadly, it seems that all Windoze applications         
consistently run slower than their DOS counterparts.        
Peace...

I had the same problem with my #9GXE card, and after months 
I finally figured out that if I turn my turbo setting off on
the card it fixes this problem. However, the only way to    
find out about a setting like this is to read the manual for
info (mine didn't mention it) or try changing the settings  
in the video card icon or setup program, if you have one.

To all you frustated-Jerky Myst players out there.....I KNOW
THE FEELING!<VBG> This is the checklist I used to get rid of
the jerkiness out of my system:                             
1. No IRQ conflict.                                         
2. No DMA conflict.                                         
3. Make sure your CDROM utilises DMA. (This was the reason  
   Myst was slow on my cptr, DMA was turned off).           
4. Do not open another window while Myst is operating.      
                                                            
DMA is short for Direct Memory Access. A method of checking 
whether DMA and IRQ is in conflict is simply to just put any
program CD in and type dir d:, if DOS cannot recognize drive
d: then either IRQ or DMA (or both) is in conflict.         
                                                            
For those of you with Mitsumi2x, I may be able to help you  
further....if you could supply me with your config and      
autoexec.bat files (specifically, the CD-ROM driver lines.  
More specifically, their options<G>).                       
Good luck.

Does MYST game have a bug in it that unables you to rotate  
the fortress when you get to the mechanical age?  I've heard
a lot of talk about it.  I'm asking because people have said
every game has a problem but I have come across a couple of 
people that have had no problems.  If my game does have a   
bug, how do I know?  THANKS

I am having trouble rotating the fortress in my game, but I 
am not entirely convinced that it is a bug and not some     
piece of the puzzle I have missed. I can use the contols the
same way as the hologram instruction device, but after I    
move and go downstairs nothing has changed. I would         
appreciate a little help regardless of whether it is me or  
the program.         Wendy

Listen to the sounds the simulator makes when you move it to
each of the 4 compass points.  This will help you when you  
do the real thing- it is the only way to keep track of which
direction the fortress is pointing.  If you get all four    
sounds and still can't reach one of the islands- then you   
have a bug. I think there's a patch available, but there are
only 100 possible combo's.      Steve

To get to the controls press the middle button in the       
elevator, then step out of the elevator before it moves.

You can go back again without repeating the whole progess if
you want both pages.  Just beware not to bring 4 pages to   
both brothers, or you will end up like them.

Barbara, thanks for the quick reply.  It poses another      
question(s).  If I dedicate the right page to Cirrus and    
avoid Achenar (sp?), does the game play out differently than
if I dedicate the right page to Achenar and avoid Cirrus?   
What if I gave 1 to Cirrus and the rest to Achenar?  Hmmm...
Multiple endings????  Or...am I just spoiling the fun?

I have a 486 25 with 4 megs of ram? Will that suffice??     
Also, I have VGA, but not Super VGA. Will that work with    
Myst? Thanks to anyone who knows for sure.

I have a 486/33mhz and Windows for Workgroups 3.11. I also  
have 4megs of RAM like the box says is required. When I     
tried to run MYST, it gives me "Not enough memory to run    
MYST". Is it possible to get 10,000kb free on my system??   
Or am doing something wrong? Any help appreciated. thanks..

In order to get 10,000K or more memory to get myst going, I 
had to change the windows swap file. Im using a tempory swap
file of about 6 megs.

ok.....i was already doing this....but the problem is that i
can't get my swap file drive to C: instead of H:. When I    
click on drives, it only gives me H: as a choice. I then    
changed my PermDosSwapDrv in SYSTEM.INI to C then the       
PermSwapSize to 8000 (just to be sure), and still no        
luck...How'd u do it? Can u tell me how to do it? Thanks for
your help....please reply soon.....      Bill K.

Im suprised thats not working.                              
Heres exactly what I did.                                   
I went into the CONTROL PANEL, clicked on 386 ENHANCED,     
Clicked on VIRTUAL MEMORY, It now showed me what drive I am 
using and the size the swap file is. I then clicked on      
CHANGE and the rest you can see what to do.                 
   NEXT PAGE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>              
The only thing I can think of is maybe youre not running    
Windows in Enhanced mode. I have no idea because its kinda  
hard to explain things like this by typing. Check to see if 
you have a 386 ENHANCED icon in your COLTROL PANEL.         
If you do and the only drive it will let you use is H: ,Then
Im as puzzled as you are. You said you even changed the     
settings in the .INI file and that didnt work ???STRANGE??? 
                                                            
Well let me know what youve figured out, you can write me   
e-mail if you like. my ID is BVKT76A                        
Hope everything goes well, GOOD LUCK!    ANTON

I was thinking about purchasing Myst for the IBM-CD. I have 
a few questions before I go out and buy it. What exactly is 
Myst?! An Adventure game, RPG, Shooter, Puzzle, what?! I    
have a 386DX-40, 4MB RAM, DoubleSpeed CD, and Sound         
Blaster-16. Will I have any problems running Myst with the  
hardware I have? How would you rate the game overall(Sound, 
graphics, challenge), 1-10? Thanks!     -Paul

The vault is the marker switch on the dock.  You must have  
all the marker switches in the "on" position (despite what  
the note says).  Now turn the switch on the dock to the     
"off" position and the bottom of the switch will open up to 
reveal the white page.                                      
P.S.  What green page?

   For everyone thinking about buying MYST I would at least 
like to warn you that it is really a collection of still    
pictures with puzzles.The graphics are great but the game   
moves from picture to picture instead of fluidly like 7th   
guest.MYST is crying out for some movement and interaction. 
Others will rave about this game but I wanted people to hear
the other side also.              Brian in TX

  Thats one point of it, but you didn't mention ANY thing   
  about the puzzles. This game is loaded with them! They    
  outstrip 7th Guest by far with them too. So what if its a 
  slide show? I do agree that some 3D animation would be    
  nice, but this game would probably need a MEGA amount of  
  memory to run. It's too huge to 3D animate, even for a    
  CD. 7th Guest took 2 CD's to animate 1 house! >>>>>>>>>>>>
>>Imagine how many this would take for MYST. And the price  
  would be astronomical too.

Andrew,   I did mention the puzzles.That seems to be all    
cd-rom games can do.Either they make a puzzle game or a     
short full motion video game.Dracula Unleashed was a joke.My
point is that cd-rom games haven't been all they are        
supposed to be.I believe a few in the future might change   
that like Outpost but it is yet to be seen.

To get 59 volts, push each button by itself to find out what
it's value is. Then calculate which buttons you must push to
add up to the number 59. Then push those buttons. As for the
boat world, check out the umbrella with the 3 different     
switches. After pushing each switch, take a look at the     
tunnels, lighthouse and boat, to see which switch pumps     
water out of which area. Then explore that area. You'll >>  
need a light source, which can be found behind the locked   
trap door in the top of the lighthouse. Sandi

I have posted this on other interactive services. Is        
anyone happy with the sound quality using the SB16? I am    
usingthe updated drivers with my Zeos 486-66, CL 562 CD-ROM 
drive, and Persona speakers. The sound distorts             
and sounds like an old phonograph record. There is hiss     
and noise even after adjusting the levels ie. bass,treble   
and input level. It seems like MYST is using 8 bit samples  
which the SB16 has allways had trouble with. Feedback on    
this problem is appreciated.

I have an SoundBlast Pro and I am getting no sound in MYST.

I have the same setup as you. Don't adjust for SB16. You    
don't have that. Apparently the Pro is different from the   
16.

SBPRO and SB16 are 2 different programs, so don't upgrade. I
have SBPro and I don't have a problem. BUT did get a bad    
disk the first time. You might want to take your disk bad   
and see if there is something wrong with it..

  Thanks for your help. I returned MYST and got a new disk, 
and again, the sound didn't work. So then I reloaded SBPRO. 
It was NEVER loaded into windows, since this is the first CD
game I have had to play thru windows. Now it works great!   
And now my Windows even makes music. WOWEE!!!!

 I'm having problems and hopefully someone can give me some 
answers PLEASE!!! :)                                        
     How do I get off of this island??? I found the pages,  
figured out the pump switches, got the key in the           
lighthouse, found the passageway in the stairway in the     
stone, but I just cant seem to figure out how to get off    
this island.   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>                           
    And how do I turn on the lights in that one room thats  
on the boat itself? Its too dark to make anything out. I    
know there are more stairs in this room but its too dark to 
see whats going on.                                         
                                                            
 Can someone give me some answers please?!?!?!?!            
(Please no hints just answers)

Anton,                                                      
Set the telescope until you see the top of the lighthouse.  
Write down the degrees.  Go to the generator and charge it  
up.  Enter the secret passage along the tunnel wall.        
Remember the degree you set the telescope at.  Look at the  
item in the center of the floor and push the botton the     
corresponds to it.  If you have down everything correctly   
the lights in that dark room with lit.  Pump it out and go  
down.

I really need help on it????

Thanks okay, I'll wait, can't do anything anyways, so I     
bought another game tonight to play in between the          
frustations of Myst.

 Barbara,                                                   
Looks like were the only two people here so far!            
 thats funny!                                               
I dont think I understood your advise on how to get off of  
this age. Can you re-write it to me? (If you dont mind)     
 Thanx                   Anton

  OK, here's what to do.  I am assuming you have gotten the 
lights on inside the rock passages by getting to the top of 
the lighthouse. Barbara's answer was correct, and you should
write down the degrees of the top of the lighthouse when    
looking through the telescope.  It should be a flashing     
beacon.  By the way, the generator at the top of the        
lighthouse eventually loses power and must be recharged >>  
so you might have to crank it again.  Go inside the rock    
passageways.  If you look carefully, both of them have      
secret doors.  Entering either of these doors will bring you
to a room with a large compass rose with buttons.  Push the 
button corresponding to the degrees of the lighthouse and   
you will turn on the lights in the lower decks of the ship. 
This leads to the exit from this world.  Don't forget one to
bring one of the pages.  Hope this helps!      -B-

I'm sorry I'm so late replying, been really busy.  Have you 
figured it out yet?  If not, tell me how much you've done,  
so I can let you know what to do next?

 Hello Barbara, Nice to hear from ya again!                 
Im still having a huge problem. I know how do get to the    
secret passageway in the hallway in the rocks. Now my       
biggest problem is what to do with that 'dial' thingy. I    
know the number for the lighthouse (135???). But which      
button do I push? Do the buttons have number values? How do 
i figure out which button to push??????    >>>>>>>>>>>>     
If you can tell me the exact button to push and how you     
figured it out, I would be very grateful.                   
                                                            
 Thanx for listenin!

The dial thingy, or compass rose, is just that, A Compass.  
135 is the degrees the lighthouse is located in reference to
the Island. A compass is 360 deg. total, 90 deg. per        
quarter. 135 = 90 deg. + 45 deg. (12th button)              
                                                            
Good Luck, MURCH

It's actually by degrees, so push the 12th button from what 
would be 12'clock.

 Could someone tell me how to turn on the generator, in fact
where is the generator. I can see the towers but I can't    
find the generator. I have pumped out the hold of the ship  
twice, but it is just hit or miss. Is there an order to the 
pump switches. Where do I find the red and blue pages? I    
have the telescope setting  but until I can find the        
generator, I am stuck. Please help. Thanks in advance.

second for tunnels in rock                                  
third the lighthouse

Its me again.                                               
 Ok I understand the part about getting into the passageway 
in the tunnel in the rock. And I know the number for the    
lighthouse (135??) .Now my biggest problem is figuring out  
this "dail" in this passageway. Do the buttons surrounding  
it have number values?? and if so how do I count them???    
Or am I completely worng with that idea???   THANX!   Anton

 In that last message I said "dail" when I meant "DIAL"     
 Sorry for the confusion if it caused any.

I have figured out the pump switches (I think) I have gotten
to the two rooms and found the red and blue pages, but when 
I pick up one the other one goes back to the room where it  
came from. How do I get to keep both pages and how do I get 
to read them.  Also, how do I get the key in the lighthouse.
I figured out the telescope setting for the lighthouse, but 
now I'm really stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

There is a trunk on the bottom, open the value on the side, 
flood the room again.                                       
                                                            
Also, you can carry only one page at a time, which means you
will have to go back twice, the second time, you need only  
to get the page, not do all the work again.

Barbara: Thanks for the reply. What do I do with the page   
when I get it? I carried it around but nothing happened, so 
I dropped it. If I go back and get the pages again, please  
advise what to do with them. Is there a way to look at them.

You can carry only one at a time back to the Island of      
Myst.  They go in the red or blue books in the library.     
You must go back twice to each age if you want both pages.  
the second time, you will not have to repeat the whole thing
again, just get the page.

 Hi: I have been inside the secret room in the tunnel. I was
just getting blue lights and alarms. I went out and now I am
having a problem recharging the generator. How do you charge
the generator. The battery pack button stays red. I can turn
the crank but it doesn't seem to do anything. Please advise.

Keep turning the crank over and over, until you see the     
light turn green.  The power doesn't last forever, so move  
quickly doing things.

hI!  I have been playing this game long enough to get to    
the channelwood age and the mechanical age.  I am wondering 
if I have missed something that explains the overall story  
and purpose for this game.  What is it that tells you that  
you are looking for pages of a book and why?  I did see the 
message to Catherine in the imager, but it explained almost 
nothing.  Thanks anyone,   Marge  Mystified in Pgh.

I am posting this for general discussion.  It seems that    
sometimes a creative/resourceful person can often come up   
with something tech support cannot.                         
.                                                           
I picked up Myst-CD MPC on Saturday, I know, don't buy ver. 
1.0 of anything, but I just had to.  I am having severe     
problems with it. I have a Legend 24LX video card. The      
game locks up everytime by the entrance to the generation   
plant/after the pillar walkway.  The few times I got it sort
of working I saw two butterflys dart by.  All other times no
butterflys, no work.  The game locks my CD drive hard and   
the only way out is to do the three finger salute.          
Broderbund said that it was the video driver for my Legend  
since it uses the Cirrus 542X series chipset.  They gave me 
an 800 number to call and order the new driver update for   
Windows.  I was told when I called it that the cost of the  
update was $30 or I could download it from Compuserve, I    
downloaded it.  Still no go.  I then pulled up my Support   
On-Site for Applications CD from Ziff Davis and downloaded  
the new Microsoft "official" fast 256 color 640x480 driver. 
Again, no go, lock on the butterflys.  Every so often it    
will lock on the docks with the seagulls at the start.      
.                                                           
Broderbund was no help at all.  They claimed that they had  
no info on problems since the game was so new and that they 
had done no in-house testing of the Cirrus chipset.         
.                                                           
Is anyone else having this problem?  The only other CD that 
causes this problem in my collection, and I have 40 of them 
, is Arthurs Teacher Troubles (gee, it's by Broderbund also,
is there a trend here?).  My Multimedia kit is the          
MediaVision Fusion Double-CD 16.                            
.                                                           
I've been fooling with this darn thing all night, I give up.
I'll wait a week tops for some word about what the problem  
is and then this baby goes back to the store (or gets sold  
to a friend since I got it for $49.                         
.                                                           
Is anyone else out there having this problem?  Speak up and 
be heard.                                                   
.

I am also having problems with this game.  Broderbund       
support basically is non-existent.  If you can stand to     
redial the number about 20 times and stay on hold for 20    
minutes, you may get to talk to someone.  I am also having  
video problems with the MPC version of MSYT.  I have a      
Packard Bell 486 with a Headland video card.  It is really  
strange that they reference the specific video probloem >>> 
that I am having in their README.TXT file, but they cannot  
offer me any solutions.  They must have been able to        
recreate it otherwise why would they even admit to having a 
problem.   The problem that I am having is that the Quick   
Time movie segments in the game are not placed correctly on 
the screen.  They are all over the place.  I have the most  
recent video driver the I can obtain for my card, but it    
still does not work.  I wish these video game people would  
spend more time into testing the systems that people actual 
have.  That is if they test anything at all.  I just        
finished going through a big ordeal with Sierra's Gabriel>> 
Knight CD.  They finally updated their drivers so they would
work.  If anyone has any information on video drivers that I
can try, please write me.

Well, after much troubleshooting (and downloading) I was    
able to fix my problem on my own.  After another call to    
Broderbund this morning (this time 30 min. on hold) I came  
up dry again.  Basically, after talking to the lady for     
about 10 minutes, I was left with the following info:       
.                                                           
The percentage of problems to shipped product is            
"minuscule".  My question, is that total shipped copies of  
Myst (MAC and MPC) or just the recent MPC release.  And it  
only just hit the shelf Saturday/Monday in most places, of  
course not many reports have been made.  When pushing the   
rep for more info I was told that they are now having their 
programmers look at the reported problems and that they are 
"writing to Microsoft spec." for their code and if it does  
not work with a specific machine with specific hardware it  
would be the responsibility of that hardware manufacturer to
patch THEIR drivers.  That sounds nice but let's see a      
company patch their drivers so it will work with a single   
CD release.  I don't know, the rep left me with a bad       
impression.  Actually came across a little snide is some of 
her comments.                                               
.                                                           
I downloaded the new 542X code from Compuserve.  It was in  
the IBMHW forum in the video lib.  The file name is         
CL131.ZIP  It's a new set of drivers for the 5426 and 5428  
Cirrus chipsets.  I loaded up the 640 x 480 x 256 driver and
the problem actually got worse.  Solid lock on the first    
screen on the island when the seagulls appear.              
.                                                           
Got home early and got right through to Mediavision Tech    
support.  They recently restructured their tech support and 
while I always talked it down in the past for lack of       
knowledge of their own products and general "who cares"     
attitude, my latest experience was a model for how tech     
support should be.  Very polite, stayed on the phone while I
ran through some version checking and tests, and told me to 
call back if I had any further problems.  I was told to     
download the following files from their BBS (510) 770-9905: 
.                                                           
MVSND324.EXE   312.EXE   GWPATCH.ZIP or WIN146.EXE          
The first two files are the DOS drivers for the CD and      
ProAudio Studio Card, the last two (your choice, ZIP or self
extract) are for the updated Windows drivers.  After        
unzipping these files and installing them to the correct    
directories Myst now works.  Which file did it?  Don't know 
and don't care.  I took all my drivers to the absolute      
latest versions and it worked (which by the way is what is  
mentioned in the Myst readme file).  So if you are having   
problems with Myst, don't wait for Broderbund to tell you   
what's causing it, get on the modem and update all your     
drivers to current versions.                                
I had a problem very much like the Broderbund experience    
with The Journeyman Project.  I was half way through and    
writing a review of it when I hit a bug that I could not get
around.  All fingers pointed to everyone ELSE and THEIR     
drivers as the cause of the problem.  And oh yes, Quicktime 
would soon be updated by Apple and that might fixit(?).     
Companies are going to have to learn to be a little more    
responsive to their customers or they won't have customers. 
.                                                           
We could talk for days on software standards and PC's but I 
got what I needed off my chest.  Any ?'s, drop me a line.

  All this talk agrivates me.  I mean thousands of different
computer setups.  Hundreds, well maybe a little under a     
hundred video cards, quite a few different cd-rom drives and
you expect everything to run picture perfect of every       
system.  It's a new game.  How can the tech people know what
is going to happen on every computer.  No matter how much   
testing they do there are always going to be bugs.  This is 
no  Sega Genesis or SNES where everything is the same of    
every single machine. If half you people even had a clue!!  
Think for a bloody second.   If you need new drivers for    
video cards or sound cards, get them.  You can't expect     
technology to stay at a standstill.  You would all still be 
sitting back playing hurl the rock at Uggggg or playing     
Ultima on your C-64. The only complaint I can see is that   
you have such a hard time getting through to their  tech    
department.  But what can you expect when a game first comes
out.   I wish some of you would think for a bloody second.

Thank you Mr. Trevena!                                      
                                                            
A few days after release, and I am now convinced that sound 
card software upgrades are the name of the game in MYST.  We
always recommend to customers that they inquire with the    
manufacturer of sound card, video card, and CD-ROM player to
ensure that they have the latest software available, but    
consumer resistance is extreme.                             
                                                            
Most computer users are not that technically-oriented, and I
don't blame them; you buy a new machine, you expect the     
latest software. You may have just purchased the CPU        
yesterday, but the driver versions (partcularly sound card  
drivers) installed may be months old.  For the vast majority
of applications, this presents no problem at all.  MYST,    
however, is as state-of-the-art as we can make it.  And     
you must give your hardware manufacturer (sound card, video 
board, and CD-ROM player) the opportunity to be state-of-   
the-art as well.                                            
                                                            
So I would once again like to thank Mr. Trevena for         
distributing this valuable information.  It applies across  
the board to all currently available sound cards (and video 
cards, and CD-ROM drivers). Update those drivers!  The sound
card, video board, and CD-ROM manufacturers update          
constantly to accomodate new software releases that exploit 
features of Windows/MPC not previously anticipated.  Most of
them have very friendly BBS's.  You must give the           
manufacturer of your hardware the opportunity to do their   
best, by downloading their most current software.           
                                                            
And then let us know.  We are always looking for ways to    
improve our products.

From the Land of Misery(MO)=-                               
I'll start by saying A: I don't have Myst, and B: I don't   
even know if it's a Windows program or not.  If it is, the  
following is useless, ignore me. <G>  I also have a PB, and 
have found in a number of cases that a separate VESA driver 
helps strange problems with the HT/V7 cards.  The best I've 
found is "Univesa 3.2".  It can be found many places, but>> 
I found it on the Virgin board (seems to work well with T7G 
on many systems, mine works fine on T7G without the driver).
On a number of VESA-driven DOS games, even the most recent  
designed-for-V7 VESA drivers were inferior to UNIVESA32.    
So, if this IS a DOS game and is VESA compatible, check     
around for Univesa 3.2, and if you can't find it locally,   
call Virgin's BBS at 714-833-3305.  Again, I have NO idea if
this is even a VESA game or a DOS game, I just wanted to    
toss out that hint to a fellow PB owner.

Hi Jody - I believe we spoke today about a General Fault in 
Module QCMC.OTC.  You had mentioned that you thought it was 
a sound card problem.  I have Sound Blaster Pro 2.  I called
Creative and they don't think it is their problem. I also   
checked Windows and the only task that is running is Program
Manager.  The only thing I did accomplish is how to use my  
sound card with DOS 6.2.  Do you have any more suggestions? 
I have Zeos 486DX 33 with 4 meg of RAM.

In all fairness to Broderbund, while they may not have done 
extensive testing in-house for Myst, they did go to lengths 
I've not seen many others go to in listing all possible     
support BBS numbers for video and sound adapter             
manufacturers.  It's a mixed bag, maybe since it's early in 
the release cycle they will add a little personal touch to

Richard, I did think for a "bloody" minute.  I got the game 
right out of the UPS box at the store on Saturday.  I do not
expect a software company to test every combination of every
system available to man.  What I do expect is some testing  
on those products that make up the top 30-40% of the market.
What does this game rely on?  Video drivers can be had that 
are standard, Microsoft just released their batch of new    
"standard" drivers on CIS and Support On Site For           
Applications CD (among other places).  That's what's nice   
about Windows, some form of standards that are enforced.    
The OEM drivers are usually for sound cards and CD's.  I    
have a Pro Audio Studio card and an NEC Double Speed CD-ROM.
These two items are very mainstream.  If I were releasing a 
game, I would at least test those hardware items that are in
this ranking.  Panasonic and Hitachi are two other popular  
drives, as are Sony's.  The SoundBlaster series is the other
biggie in the sound card arena.  Let's not forget Roland.   
Sure, I don't expect them to test Joe's Waveblaster, or     
Mikioto's Compatible with EVERYTHING for $19 sound card that
you see in the aisles at Comdex (right next to the hot dog  
stands).                                                    
.                                                           
My drivers were only a few months out of date according to  
MediaVision.  This game has been in development for a lot   
longer than a few months.  I would think that the sound     
driver and other drivers would be based on versions that    
were not released in the past few months.  SORRY, but in my 
book having the source of the problem be a sound driver for 
a large market share holder is an major oversight           
on someone's part.  Sue me, that's my opinion.              
.                                                           
My other objection was simply the way the call was handled, 
two days in a row.  Would you simply have them turn off     
their tech lines for new games until the game has been out  
for a month, two months, maybe three?  They could just      
answer the phone and say, "Sorry, that game was just        
released, please call back in a few weeks and we might have 
found out who's fault it is by then" ???  With the          
proliferation of on-line services like Prodigy, AOL, and    
Compuserve, the information flows quickly and if a company  
has people watching these boards they can get the feedback  
they need quickly (hats off to Broderbund, they are here and
doing just that). To come across arrogant on a tech support 
line telling the customer that even when the problem is     
found, it's going to be the other guys problem to update    
their drivers is not the way to do it.  It really doesn't   
matter to me if this turns out to be the case, take the time
to work with your customers politely (even if it is the 50th
call of the day for the same problem).  I manage a 500+     
installation of networked PC's, Midranges, and Mini's and it
takes a special type of person to put on a "happy" phone    
voice to answer a question for the 1,000th time, I can't.   
.                                                           
My argument lies in the lack of testing for a mainstream    
sound board and an apparent lack of patience and overall    
arrogant manner on a tech support line.  Those are two      
mistakes that can do real damage to a games success. To     
their credit they did supply a long list of tech BBS's and  
made the statement of current drivers in their              
documentation.  Here's to improvement in both areas in the  
future for Broderbund.....

Hey Steven,                                                 
  I also have the same headland video card and have the same
problems with QuickTime movies, and Myst isn't the only game
that has that problem. I also spent hours calling tech      
support #'s having no success. I have the latest driver's   
for the headland card that are on Packard's BBS which are   
dated july 21, 1993. I called Packard Bell Tech and they >> 
Said that the latest drivers they show are dated Sept '93,  
so I asked if they would put them on the bbs. They should   
already be on there was their reply. Well their not I said  
so he said he could ship them to me. I said how long til I  
get them, 3-4weeks they said. I then asked if he was sending
them pony express, he didn't find that ammusing and said    
since the earthquake things have backed up. Understandable, 
so anyway I took back Myst and will wait til the new drivers
come in and I'll try them with some other QuickTime movie   
files I have. If you have any luck yourself with it let me  
know.           Chuck in Ft Walton Bch, FL

I got Myst yesterday and it worked fine.  Then today I      
installed Norton's Desktop for Windows and now Myst won't   
work - I get strange screeching sound and then it locks up -
usually at the first Title screen, but sometimes it lets me 
play for a couple of minutes.                               
Could Norton't be the problem?  Or is it just a coincidence?
Thanks for your help.  Rick

I loved Norton Desktop, then I got hooked on PC Tools for   
Windows.  After getting a CD-ROM added to my system, I just 
went back to plain old Windows (gross).  I had far too many 
programs that needed special handling with any of the shell 
programs.  Things might have changed with the recent round  
of upgrades but I can run efficiently in clean Windows.

Thanks for the info.  Gee how hard would it be to update a  
zip file on a BBS, earthquake or no earthquake.  If the BBS 
is up and running then they can update it.  It seems like we
are starting a club here.  You are the 3rd person with the  
same problem.  The thing that I do not understand is why    
Broderbund states there is a problem with the Headland video
boards, but they offer no real answers.  >>>>>>             
It sounds like they know what the problem is and have fixed 
it based on the readme.txt file.  Why can't they supply tell
us what the dates are of the drivers they used and supply   
them on their bbs?  Would anyone from Broderbund care to    
reply?  If I get any info I will definately pass it on.

Thank you for a well written response.  I also wanted to    
respond to Mr. Gilmore's response as well as the Broderbund 
reps response, but I did not have the time to do so.  You   
summed it up very well.  I too work for a software          
development firm which creates an automation system for     
independent insurance agents.  It seems software companies  
take a "pass the buck" approach to solving problems.        
Our company would be out of business if we dropped the ball 
like Broderbund has.  You would think that after all the    
people having problems with MYST MPC writing on the BB      
Broderbund would get on the problems fast.  It is no longer 
a few users having problems.                                
                                                            
I also took some offense to the Broderbund reps comment     
about most users not being that computer literate.  On the  
contrary, most users are very computer literate.  With      
products like MYST out there they have to be.  It seems like
most people who have written notes on the bb have done      
some kind of trouble-shooting before they called support.   
As a matter of fact, I think at this point the people who   
have had the problems with MYST know more about the product 
then Broderbund support.  You should never assume a users   
intelligence.  I think all the people having problems with  
MYST would appriciate a little more effort from Broderbund. 
How hard would it be to supply the compatible drivers ont he
Broderbund BBS?  Somehow I do not think it would be very    
hard at all since they probably already have them.  This    
would go a long way towards showing users they really want  
to help.

Stan, I had the same exact problem and I think the problem  
is the use of the Apple Quick Time video playing process. I 
too had trouble with specific trouble shooting so I took the
game back.. also a week ago I had the SAME problem with The 
Journeyman Project which uses the same program.. I got the  
latest sound board driver ( Media Vision ) no help.. today I
called STB in Texas and they are sending me new video bios  
chips ( free of charge ) so maybe in the future I can play  
one of these type of games. I too have over 30 CD_ROM's and 
NEVER ran onto any problem. I think they should let you     
install it under DOS or WINDOWS ( your choice ) as I have   
never had any problem with a Sierra, Lucas Arts or Legend   
game, for example, and ran a few under Windows... too bad   
companies DON'T offer good support by 1) either not having a
solution or 2) make you wait 20 or more minutes long        
distance listening to dumb music!

You mentioned you had a legend.  I have a Packard Bell      
Legend 2000, doesn't that mean I going to get the same      
run-around too??  I hope if you solve the problem you'll    
post us on it - or me, if I find out first.

What a mess. Myst is going back. I can't believe what poor

minutes, no help. They actually told me to download drivers 
for cyrus chips when that isn't what my video card uses.    
                                                            
I have over 200 software packages and have never seen such  
poor support!!! (I had same problem of lock up when going to
what looks like the well areas. Oh well. I guess I'll stick 
to Sierra (and their companies), Lucasfilm, Interplay, and

Jody, I have been trying different things to see if I can   
run MYST but I keep having the same problem.  The book      
opens and as the little window starts to show MYST, I get   
an error "General Protection Fault in module QCMC.QTC at    
0002.6001, if I select ignore I get the same error at       
0002.6004.  I have a Zeos 486DX 33, Sound Blaster Pro 2,    
ProCom Technology CD - model PXCDL. Prior to getting the    
error, the sound keeps cutting in and out.  I tried running 
the Making of MYST and was able to get all the way through  
it but again the sound kept cutting in and out.  I must tell
you that I am getting very frustrated.  I have purchased    
other games and have never had this kind of difficulty in   
getting it to run.  Is there any possibility the problem is 
in the disk and not my system?  By the way, I am curently   
using DOS 5.0 (I downgraded from 6.2) and Windows 3.11. I   
also recently downloaded the updated Sound Blaster Pro 2    
drivers from CompuServe.  Please help!!

Are you sure your DMA and IRQ are set right? In other games

cutting in and out and the game freezes. Sandi

The IRQ on the sound card is set at 7 and the DMA at 1.     
That seems to work on other games.  Should be it be

I think that's right. Did you read the readme text that came
with the game? It does address different sound cards. Are   
you sure you have all the right drivers loaded in windows? I
have a PAS.. so I'm not real sure about the SB card. But if 
you don't have the right drivers loaded, that can also      
create problems. If nothing else seems to help, try a       
different IRQ. I think I have mine set to Irq 5 and dma 1>> 
for the soundblaster portion of my card. Changing the irq in
windows shouldn't be hard. Sandi

I finally got the game to run after re-installing the       
drivers for my monitor but the sound still cuts in and out  
in the intro.  Also, I get a lot of static when I open the  
book in a room that looks like a museum.  I don't if that   
what suppose to happen but I'll keep working on it.  That's 
for your suggestions. I read one note that you had to       
increase the virtual memory and Broderbund Tech told me the 
game wouldn't smooth without the increase.

You're supposed to get static out of those books in the     
library. As you keep adding more and more pages, the static 
decreases a little at a time, until you can (I think after  
about 4 pages) finally understand most of what is going on. 
I still haven't gotten it entirely static free, and I'm     
locating the 5th page now. So... the static in the red and  
blue books in the library is normal. Sandi

I was wondering if you could help me.  I tried copying the  
new Sound Blaster 16 drivers into the Windows directory.    
The program said that I couldn't as when I tried to do so it
 said, "access denied".  Several drivers copied but not all.
 When I tried to run the program, an error message came up  
saying "Error 10200  Initializing timer manager."  I have no
clue as to what this means.  I'd appreciate any help.

ANy time you get an access denied error when copying files  
it's most likely due to the original files you are trying to
overwrite being read only files.  Instead of doing a DIR on

You can download current drivers from Compuserve which      
includes an automatic install program and you won't have to 
worry about it.

 Wow I'm bumming now that I've read about all these         
problems. I was looking for some help myself; My version    
runs (if you can call it that) ok but from the opening      
screen on it's like eveything is to low on the screen and   
I'm missing some of the game. I'm on a PB 486 33 mhz with a 
Headland drivers installed. Does anyone have a BBS # for    
Headland?? Will a new updated driver help? Thanks, Russ

Welcome to the club.  I also have a PB 486.  I cannot get   
anyone to give me anything close to real help.  I have      
uploaded what PB considers the latest video drivers for the 
Headland card from the PB BBS.  This file is HT-WIN.EXE     
dated 10/25/93.  The game still does not work right.  The   
QuickTime video is all over the place. If you find an answer
please let me know and I will do the same.

Kay, are you installing it thru Win3.1? Run file from the   
Progman. Make sure you've got correct drive leter. Also try 
installing QTW separately. Good luck.

I have a Laser 486DX2 with 8mb and a Mitsumi double speed   
cdrom drive. I got MYST today, It runs SO slow! When I start
the game it take three minutes for the game to start. That  
time, it's not even accessing the disk!! Whats wrong? My    
computer can't be to slow, can it?? Also all through the    
game, the game pauses for like 30 seconds and doesnt do     
anything, what's wrong????   Jeff

I have been having the same problem with Gabriel Knight on  
my 386/40MHz DX w/ 4 megs of Ram.  I have a single speed    
CD-ROM drive, a Trident 16-bit video card, and a Pro Audio  
Spectrum.  However, Myst runs just fine for me.  I don't    
know why since my system isn't the greatest.  However,      
whenever I want to restore a saved game on Gabriel Knight,  
it takes about 4 minutes with the computer and CD not even  
doing anything.  THat's weird.  I guess I'll just have to   
wait for now.  If anyone has suggestions, let me know!

I recently finished this game and maybe this will help. I   
have an Acer486/Sx,panasonic 563cd,Sbpro soundcard. Go in   
windows and pick Control Panel,choose virtual memory.       
Createa permanent swap file of whatever size it recommends. 
Reboot and see if you have at least 10,000+KB. You can find 
this by choosing Help under Program Manager and clicking    
About. If your running a Sbpro try using IRQ5,DMA1. Occasio,
save the game,exit and then start playing again. The game   
uses alot of resources under Windows and you can run out of 
mem. and slow things down. I ran the standard window vga    
driver under Vga Utilities and had no problems. 640,480,256 
colors. My drive is Doublespaced and I run the Qualitis 386 
memory manager to load as much as possible into upper       
memory. I hope this helps. Any questions about the game or  
tech ?s about the cddrive or sbpro I'll try to help.

In order to increase the size of the swap file you need to  
defrag the drive and open up as much continuous space on the
drive as possible. Just deleteing files won't do it.

Anyone notice how Jody Hawke only made herself known when   
information was provided FOR Broderbund as to one of the    
technical problems with the IBM-CD version of Myst?  When   
people saw her here other questions were asked, none were   
answered and it's almost been a week now.  Kind of supports 
my original statements of Broderbund.  She is obviously a   
lurker here or else she would have at least responded to    
those questions with a "we'll get back to you when we have  
an answer" type response.  Too bad, they had an opportunity 
to show support for their product and they're not.  Many    
companies make a real effort to have a presence here and on 
other on-line services to support their products.           
.                                                           
Oh well, just an observation.  Hey, maybe it's not in her   
job description as Senior Technical Support?

Is 4meg of ram all that is req'd to play this game? When I  
try to run it, Windows gives me "Not enough memory to run   
MYST". My swap file is already at max (3,850 i think). How  
do I possibly get 10,000? Also, after i copied those few    
SB16 files into my WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory, i tried to run 
Windows again and it gave me something about Dynalink error 
or Datalink error....something like that. If anyone has any 
clues for me, please reply ASAP. Thanks......

 I have a very slight technical problem. The game runs fine,
but when I move the mouse, along the top of the screen      
(black part) there is a litle group of white dots (looks    
like static) around 3/4" in diameter that moves sideways    
along with the mouse. Not a problem, just an annoyance. Any 
help? I have the IBM version. Best game I've ever played!

You've having a problem with your video card - you have a   
ghost mouse.  I can only suggest you call the computer      
company and see what can be done to correct it.  I have the 
same problem with SimCity 2000, and needed an updated video 
driver.

I have seen some reference to my problem on the board, but  
need some simple advice.  I have a PB 1120 486SX 33mhz, with
DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.  It has a Headland Tech HT 216-32    
local bus video with 512K RAM.  MYST will not run properly  
in the specified mode of 256 color, 640x480 resolution (the 
video is cut in half, with half at the bottom of the screen 
and the other half at the top).   Again, in SIMPLE terms    
what can I do about this.  Is the only resort to get a new  
driver, and if so, how do I do that?  Note, I do not belong 
to Compuserve or any other network. The game sound very     
interesting, and I purchased it on the basis of a good      
review I read, but I am quite dissapointed in not being able
to run it.  Looking forward to any help.                    
                                                            
                                  Thanks,

Hey Steven,                                                 
 I'm using a PB 486 33MHZ with the same Headland bus and    
drivers, with the same problem. If you find something out   
how about dropping me a note.                               
                               Thanks,                      
                             Russell Tonkinson jwck29a      
  ps Well I just reviewed your problem and our problems are 
not the same but similar. I don't have a split screen but   
rather a have what appears to be a reflection on the bottom 
of my screen that contains changes that the screen should   
have been updated with. Any ways if you find a driver that  
works please let me know.                                   
                        Thanks Again

Hi Folks, I hope that someone here can help. I just         
purchased MYST for MPC.I am using a Packard Bell 486-25mhz. 
I have a Headland Technologies video card in the cpu.I am   
not a novice to CD-ROM games or software, BUT I am having a 
problem with the "real time" movie on the disk. The actual  
game works fine, but when I try to watch the "Making of     
Myst" the screen divides into two parts, the bottom of the> 
picture is on the TOP of the CRT, and the top of the        
picture is on the bottom. All my video drivers are "right   
on", there is plenty of memory for Windows [over 10k], my   
monitor is set for 640x480x256, all is well. Is anyone      
having the same or similar problem? If so, can you shed any 
light on this problem before I spend countless hours and    
money attempting to call Broderbund support.It would be     
greatly appreciated especially for my ego's sake. Thanks in 
advance. Bill Silverstein GDCX15A

W. Silverstein.- I have the same system, and am getting the 
exact problem as you.  I called the company and they said to
change my qtw.ini file to read optimize=video. - Mine said  
that already.  Said it would cause it to run slower.  Told  
to Circuit City where I brought the system, and they said   
just to update my video driver.  I told Broderbund that the 
games BB for full of problems with the game, they offer very
little advice just to say hetland is now not being          
manufactured anymore.  don't wait you money calling.  If any
of us come up with a solution we'll let you know.

Hi, I too have a PB with the same problem. But I fixed mine.
I changed the QTW.INI...I had to put in a new line:         
[video]                                                     
Optimize=Driver                                             
well it worked for me, but it is really slow. If anyone     
knows how to speed it up, let me know.

 Well I don't know what to tell you. I guess we're stuck.   
 I guess We are going to have to wate for the patch. Like I 
said mine works...Just really slow. Well Good luck.

Jim,                                                        
I have no problem playing it - don't keep it on zip mode and
it works faster.  Only zip when you want to get back        
somewhere faster.                                           
Where are you now in the game, maybe we can help each       
other.

Hi Jim,                                                     
I ordered the book too, but haven't received it as yet.     
I'm in the age with the windmill - totally stuck - just got 
a clue from someone, so I'll give it a try.  How's the      
spaceship age? - also is the book very helpful.  I had four 
different people try to do the setting on the spaceship and 
still no dice, I know what numbers to go up but apparently  
doing a lousy job of it.

E-mail some time and tell me about your self (what kind of

Ok you'd better. So have you heard of any other ways to fix 
our BP computers? Over all my works good with MYST. I just  
wish the QTM were faster.

Jim, Try not to keep it on zip mode or transmition options  
when you don't need them.  This helps to move along a bit   
faster.  I having problems with a slit screen above and     
before the main picuture, but the chip is being federal     
expressed.  I can still play ok, but it's sometimes a pain  
in the drain.  How do you like the game so far and how much 
or far have you done?

J--(and really to all the other folks who are hvaing a      
problem getting the spaceship off the ground). You obviously
know the order in which to play the notes, but you must     
match the pitches exactly. Listen very carefully as you play
the piano, in the sequential order, in the spaceship. Being 
a musician helps, but it's not critical.--Erin

Well I got the spaceship going...and I'm in some strange    
world. So you said something about a "CHIP". What is it, and
what does it do? Will It fix our problems????               
So where are you at in the game?

You install the chip as hardware.  If you need the part nbr.
I'll give it to you, or did I already. They promise it will 
fix the problem.  I'm in the same strange world as you are. 
good luck.

I haven't found a solution to my problem so I'll throw it   
out to y'all and fish a little. Yep, PackBell (grrr) user,  
486-dx2/66, Win3.1, et all. HT driver. Now, we installed it 
and the video runs at a reasonable speed, but it isn't      
centered on the screen. We can play, and basically get the  
gist of what is happening, but the Quicktime and some other 
stuff is down at the bottom, with only the top half showing>
I'm sure when we fix it, it'll look great. Do you think I   
should try the optimize=driver thing? We've had so many     
problems with this system (the WHOLE thing) that I'm scared 
to breath wrong on it-the BIOS chip might go down the tubes 
again! HelpHelpHelp!--Erin Collins

I try installing Myst on my Ps\1 Consultant and I get the

has a 256 color configuration. i've tried all of them, and  
none work. HELPPPP!

MYST runs in SVGA <265 colors> if you don't have a SVGA card
then you can't run the game.  If you have a SVGA card but   
the drivers don't work, MYST has drivers to us. Read the MPC
Trouble shooting Guide that came with the game it well tell 
how to install the drivers.  Tony/San Diego

   I've finished the game but never found out what the      
numbers 7,2,4 were.  They were found after turning the tower
toward the tree.                                            
   Thanks!!

HOW DID YOU FINISH THE GAME WITHOUT KNOWING THOSE NUMBERS   
WERE FOR THE WALL SAFE IN THE CABIN WITH THE BOILERS? YOU   
NEED TO OPEN THIS SAFE TO GET THE MATCHES TO LIGHT THE      
BOILER. THE BOILER MUST BE LIT IN ORDER TO MOVE THE TREE TO 
GET TO CHANNELWOOD.

  I went by the dock, flipped the marker switch and a little
door opened. Inside was a little piece of paper. I can't    
figure out how to read it!!!! It isn't a colored one so     
putting it in a book doesnt' work.                          
   Help!

It doesn't go in either a red or blue book. You can't read  
the page. You will need it at the very end, after you solve 
the fireplace. Sandi

   I just got this game. I read that in MANY reviews that   
the music was a BIG plus in the game.  In the reviews here I
see the same comments.  WHERE'S THE MUSIC!!!! I do get a    
LITTLE BIT here and there, but DEFINATELY not as background 
as I go through the game.                                   
   Dissappointng.  I think the music I hear would add nicely
to the game.  Am I missing something??      Joe
