I have exactly the same problem. I have tried redownloading but it still will not let me pick up the file from the safe.

I am also having the same problem with not being able to pick up the file, the hint button doesn't work either.

I have the exact same problem. Sure hope they get a fix for it soon. This game has been out on Big Fish's webisite for one month. You would think Gogii Games would have patched it by now.

I got past the first two safes but run into the same problem in the Senators house. I can't pick up the picture.

I am having exactly the same problem. And even though I clicked all over the place the cursor doesn't freeze either. What a shame. It seemed like a good game when I started. I like the variety of puzzles.

I'm having a somewhat different problem. I started playing the game and got to chapter 2 when I had to log off and do something. When I came back, I turned my computer on and started the game, and all of a sudden I'd get no questionmarks where the puzzles were, no magnifying glasses where hidden object scenes were and no "walking man" on areas I could enter.

Going to try and delete the game and re-download to see if that fixes anything.

EDIT: De-installed the game and re-downloaded it. Having the same problem. Also, the disguise part doesn't work either. I can get the options of, say, hairdyes, but when I try and click one of the options, it doesn't show on Melissa.

Would very much like a fix to this since the game seems promising.

2nd EDIT: Thought a little about this and it would seem that the game doesn't "recognize" the mouse, both when hovering and clicking items.

You are correct! I noticed on one dress-up screen you can not select the outfit on the very right unless you hover your cursor at the left edge. As for retrieving the file in the bar safe, I had to reload my game a few times before the mouse cursor detected the file. Very finicky game.

I am having these problems too. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not correct the problems. I then uninstalled again and reinstalled, then created a new profile and am still having these problems, this time from the very beginning.

I hope they fix this problem soon. I was enjoying this game very much.

I have the same problem!!!! I have deleted this game over and over again and re-down loaded it. Seems to always get stuck at the safe in the club. I cannot grab the file. This is terrible and unfortunate. This seems to be one of the better HO games. I hope there's a fix soon, as I would like to continue playing it.

Try using the custom cursor option in your settings. It may look like you are already using this option but it doesn't seem to be selected in the program settings.

That worked for me, I actually minimized it so I could search and see if there was a fix, then read this and tried it and it worked right away... although I am only at the first safe. It also started showing the walking man, magnifying glass etc... which I didn't even realize was missing (although I was frustrated that I had no idea where any of the places I had to search were)
