I DL'd the update to DirectX9 (I had 11) and the game worked.  I'm beginning to think Aunt Margaret might be more annoying than Philip!   I did one upgrade to the car -- still not sure what that's all about.  Apparently the Red Mine was fixed with this update.  Bomzap had said that the update would give us less expensive HOs.  Is upgrading the vehicle (and boy does it get expensive!) the way it will do that?  I clicked on my wharf and I upgraded that too.  A couple of the minigames wanted huge amounts of resources (18 in the first spot).  I'll see what happens today.  Now I'm wishing I'd bought more food during the sale.

Forgot to say that I got my 40 gold for the Christmas quests.

tee - everything worked fine with Captain Matthew for me.  The red car is the standard issue vehicle.  It's what we've been driving all along.  The first upgrade is a blue panel truck.

Thanks, went and it worked for me too except took forever to find the spot to cut the chains on the mine car.  Never paid that much attention to the vehicle and just thought the red car looked newer for some reason. 

Another question, I'm so far behind and have been trying to read everything and I haven't seen anything about how long it takes to update Phillip's place to Lv. 4.  I have the quest for the shot glasses and when I go there, it has a chain and says to upgrade to Lv. 4.  I think I have done it at least 3 times and the chains are still there.  This game is a little confusing to me. If anybody knows the answer, sure would appreciate a little clarification.  Thanks.

Well, it's official, I'm an idiot.  Not totally my fault, it was very confusing.  I just used 20 gold to unlock the Who's watching you too mini-game, then went to the Porcelain shop to do that one and it was still locked.  When back to birds, back to porcelain, turns out there is a Who's Watching You and a Who's Watching You, Too and I paid 20 gold to unlock the wrong one  Wonder if I can system restore?  The correct mini needs a 16 hr. build to Level 5, I can handle that.

Wendy - you're making my head spin.   I was stuck at Capt Matthew's before the update trying to use the key to open his shack.  Update fixed that.

Did you have to pay to unlock mini game for Valentine quest?

I've got one box of chocolates, all the red/pink flowers but not the two other colored ones, all but one card, and two or three of the letters.  Is that what everyone else has?  I've used all my energy, should I cash in more and  keep doing the HOs to get more of the special items?  Has anyone found them in mini-games?  I've only done my quest minis today.
