There are a few of us out there - the rarefied few - who seem to been lucky ... blessed ... or perhaps destined to have the Jigsaw Detective autos work for them. Unfortunately, I am not one of them. Is there any timeframe, details or information on when a stable auto for the Jigsaw Detective game will be released?
Currently neither one of the listed autos works properly for me. All of the other autos are working at 100% efficiency and - being an addict for collecting the badges - I'd love to have that one work too.

Have you posted all the below specs and let someone figure it out?
1.) Operating system (Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP etc)?
2.) Browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, AOL, Mozilla, Opera etc)?
3.) Color setting (24 bit, 32 bit etc)?
4.) Screen resolution (800x600, 1024x768)?
5.) Smooth edges of screen fonts checked or unchecked?
6.) What Java you are using?
7.) What agent are you using?
8.) What version number is this agent?
9.) What specifically is the problem?
The only way Detector works for me is if I use FF browser.othewise is just sat there and looked dumb. lol..Try that and hope it helps.

It isn't even about posting the specs any longer. Everyone knows that there are problems with the autos. Every other auto I have works perfectly. So it isn't a setting. It isn't the fonts, screen settings or any other thing. Its the programming. The current autos do not work for nearly everyone who downloads them. So posting all of the above mentioned items - although it has already been done by many people won't make a difference.
Personally ... I don't want to download a new browser like FireFox to use the autos. We've all been told that the autos should work with IE since that's what they were programmed to work with.

Ok then, suit yourself. I was just trying to help you out.
helen is right.
in any event, posting your pc specs never hurts, when asking about the autos.
side note*
the only problem i have with jegsaw detective, is that the Fast speed doesnt work, it works and solves puzzles at the same rate and speed at the Medium setting. Thats about 6 or 7 minutes.
LoL, please tell me you're a $150 customer because they're the ONLY way I can see you having an auto that is paid for that you might not have tried before purchasing.
And what's the deal with that "I'm going to post all my comments in all bold?"
Also, you stated...

I for one don't recall being told that HOWEVER I'm more than willing to read this info somewhere from BadgeHelp.com or Oscar on this forum if it's pointed out to me. However, lets just say this was said... noticed the word I've bolded from your comment? It is "should" which by definition means: "
used in auxiliary function to express what is probable or expected". Now I'm going to give a different definition: "
used to express futurity"... that goes with the word "will" and I didn't see that word from your previous comment.
Now, others have suggested ways for you to get your auto to work correctly for you. You have chosen to take a different route and refuse to use the methods that have worked for many of us. This is your own choice and I wish you well. However, I will note that those that have heard and used these suggestions have seen it work for them. To each their own.
Unkluge Seele.
It doesn't look like fitzkarin plays well with other..so we will just stay in our own sandbox and fu fu to him/her.. there! i said my piece....
we were only trying to help..suggest what works for us. Theres no reason to get your knickers in a knot.... ::)
My jigsaw detector works great..I use it on FF with Sun java..and solves puzzles in less than 4 mins...
I think some people who have dial up or a slower connection, may have problems with it...but it has always worked fine for me...don't think it is in the programming...if so, then it wouldn't work for any of us.
Im still using version 6 works great, just wish it was a tad faster.I have it set for the fastest speed and it still takes a couple hours.
Not complaining though,god knows it's still faster than i could do it by hand.Hmmm version 6 with an insane speed setting(hint hint). Just kidding,great job!!
mine gets stuck every now and then other then that runs fine
have some problems some times but other wise they both work great on ie :D with sun they seem to not let jit >:(

I have to agree with everyone on this... the ones it doesn't work for and the ones that it does.
This program doesn't work for me as well, and trust me I have tried everything too. However I do have dial up because where I live I cannot get any higher speed. Sucks bad too. That is the only conclusion that I came up with in why this auto isn't working for me. Maybe that is what they need to do is find something that can work for this game to help out the dial up users. All the other autos have worked great for me so far except for this. Just wish i could exchange another one for this since this doesn't work for me. However I do have an awesome person who has kept me up on the badges for this game anyway. So I can't be too upset... :)
I guess for the ones who can't get the auto to work for this game... lets just keep our fingers crossed.
QuoteHmmm version 6 with an insane speed setting(hint hint). Just kidding,great job!!
Hold the left shift button down then hit the start on the auto. When the auto starts collecting the peices, let the shift button go.
That will enable the hidden "insane" speed setting. :)

Did it work for you?
Kinda...I mean, It did form the edge at lightning speed...but it hung up on the last corner piece of the frame and then got stuck. (This was Detector 6.3 running on Firefox..)
So yeah, it works, but not so well for me... ;)

Thanks for answering. O0
I have to agree on this one. Neither works for me. Jigsaw used too a long time ago.
I have already done specs.
No ms java on my pc.
Is there even a place to get it anymore?
And does it work for all the people that use ms?

I'm not sure. I don't use that java on the computer I'm on right now. Maybe someone who is using it may assist you.
Jigsaw Detector 6.3 works well for me on the Medium speed setting/Medium difficulty Puzzle.
It solves a puzzle in approx. 6-7 minutes, which, if I start a new case before bed, the auto has completed the case by morning.
Here are the settings I use:
Windows XP (SP2)
Firefox browser (1.5.0.1)
Sun Java (1.5.0)
32 bit Color
1024x768 screen size
Smooth Edges of Fonts: Unchecked
Hope this information helps...Happy Cheating!
ty, but I have those same exact setting right now and it does not work, so I am going to try ms java.
thanks

I don't know if this will cause a problem but do you have a screensaver or firewall running? I've read that some people experience problems when they have one of these two active while trying to run an auto.

Good luck with MSJVM...
I guess it also depends on the connection (someone was discussing dial-up earlier)...I have DSL
And my computer is new (old one bit the dust) so I am sure it has all kinds of fancy chit on it...I know I use a AMD 64 Athalon Processor...which apparently is very fancy...at least the guy at Circuit City thought so...

That may be it Hippo...I used to use Norton...and it would do all kinds of crazy crap to my computer, and very often, autos wouldn't work...
I use Trend Micro PC-cillin now...and it never interferes...
yes I do, I have tried it with it off, and it does the same thing.
Lol, Before I go changing my settings!!!!
Does anybody in here use msjava for sherlock or jigsaw and it works??????????????????????????????
If so , setting please on which boxes to check/uncheck!!
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Only check the 3rd box on MSVM java( JIT compilerfor virtual machine enabled) requires restart
I only use Sun Java because it is so slow on MSVM
thanks mayhem for the tip O0

Let me just say .. Im glad you tried it before ya bought it!
zebo try your jigsaw with sun java on my puter it only works with sun :)
no matter what i do I cannot get it to work.
on jigsaw it comes close to finishing game then window closes !!! grrrrrrr
on sherlock it stacks up but does not do anything
doulbe grrrrrrrr
Did you try it with firefox ? that made mine work just peachy ee4.gif
Good Going Nanners.... :D
It appears that I'm not the only one having the issue after all ... even after trying Firefox, MSJava, different settings and all of the other suggestions.
It isn't about not playing nice with others ... its about not paying for a program that doesn't work and wondering if it is going to be fixed so that it does.
I'm also have loads of problems with this program, it rarely works, just sticks and if it does it only works for a couple of games then sticks again.
Even running it on the slowest speeds it keeps coming up with bad identify then won't complete the jigsaw once its put all the pieces in the corner.
I've tried firefox and IE, my opera is to new for the java to work with pogo and I've completed all the help stuff people are putting forward, all my other auto's work perfectly.
i use sun java and put it on highest speed and works great also with mayhems new tip works even greater gl O0 also use ie....
I have never not ever posted a problem with a auto but theres a first for everything.
1.) Operating system (Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP etc)? XP
2.) Browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, AOL, Mozilla, Opera etc)? IE and tried FF also
3.) Color setting (24 bit, 32 bit etc)? 32
4.) Screen resolution (800x600, 1024x768)? 1024X768
5.) Smooth edges of screen fonts checked or unchecked? Unchecked
6.) What Java you are using? SunJava and tryed MSVM with only the Jit checked
7.) What agent are you using? I tried Sherlock 1.6 and I tried Jigsaw Detective 6.3
8.) What version number is this agent? Look up there ^
9.) What specifically is the problem? Sherlock will do the outside of the puzzle and it just keeps saying bad idenify over and over...won't do anything else
On Jigsaw it will do like 2 -3 peices of the outside and quit.
I have tried it everyway possible with both agents both browsers....and it still won't work :'(
I have deleted the versions and redownloaded them . I have made sure I was in pogo playing jigsaw detective ( sorry had to throw that in) Please don't tell me did I try it before I bought it because I have the 150 club thing and I didn't try everything on the list before I purchased it. Im trying to decide which one I want and neither one works.. :'( HELP !!!!
Tara, have you tried the following:
To turn it off :
1) "Right Click" your desktop and select "Properties"
2) Click on the "Appearance" tab
3) Click on the "Effects" button
4) "Un Checkmark" the top 2 boxes and press "Ok"
5) Press "Apply"

Best of luck to you. Let us know how it turns out!
For me it still does not work.
Sometimes it will pick up all the pieces except for last 1 or 2, then it locks up.
Or it picks them all up, then locks up.
Can we get some realistic info on when this auto is going to be fixed?
Please??

Maybe if you email them instead of asking on the forum since they're a million times more likely to read their emails than they are to comb through the forums looking for questions to answer.

Gawd I feel really stupid complaining...Everyones PM's are telling what they do but its not working for me. I don't have any problem with any other autos.
Ok I unchecked the first box like you said and heres what I got
Sherlock IE with Sun It did the middle of the puzzle first then just quit .
IE with Jit It did the outside first and after 6 minutes it had only 5 pieces in the middle done and quit
Sherlock FF It was worse...My whole game and taskbar and auto went way down under where my task bar is suppose to be and I got a warning about not playing under the taskbar.
Jigsaw Detector IE with Sun Same as with that top box checked...Just keeps saying bad identify
Jigsaw Detector IE with Jit Same thing as above
Jigsaw Detector FF It did the outside and only 3 pieces in the inside and quit and got stuck . I turned it off after 5 minutes.
Oh yea and I don't have any screen savers either... I don't know what I would have different than anyone else ...Zone Alarm? Norton? But all my autos work without me having to mess with anything like that. I dunno I'm just another dumb blonde from Alaska :)) j/k
If I cried someone a river would it help to fix my auto? :'(
Sorry for complaining but at least I am thorough in my investigations and I am almost out of trial period on both of them ...so I can't test to much more. I have to pick one or the other to get a code ..and I could go on and on but I won't .
Thank you for your time and have a great day !!! 8)
