I've tried Alt+F10 but that does nothing becuase there's no eRecovery installed. can someone please help me out with a way to fix this? Cheers! hey,

My girlfriend is (besides with me) totally in love with that Chuzzle-game, so it would be great if someone could help me out (if this question is inappropriate, then please delete (and don't be angry with me); I can understand if this should be the case). Thanks in advance. Bertl PS: Great stuff in here! Nice Work, Mr Walsh. Hey guys,
