You need to use the round buttons to move the magnet, the lever is only to activate the magnet itself. But to move the magnet you need to make sure Widebeard is distracted.

Paul, I think I know what your problem is. You can’t see what the characters say, correct?
If this is so then what is happeneing is your game is running to fast. If you look real closely do you see words flash upon the screen? You should just barely be able to catch a glimpse of them before they disappear. The reason for this is a dual core or anything higher.
The only way to fix this is:
1. to access the Task Manager
2. and then go to processes.
3. Find the game under processes should be called “Nelly Cootalat.exe” or something simliar.
4. right-click on nelly cootalot.exe and select “set affinity”
5. select only one of the cpu’s so only one has a check mark in it. It doesn’t matter which on you select, just make sure both arn’t selected.
6. Select ok
7. exit task manager
8. now the game should run properly. if it does not restart it and it should run good.

The reason this happens is that the game is getting twice the processing power it normally gets. With only one processor powering it it should slow down enough for reasonable gameplay. Don’t know if anyone else had this problem. And I sure hope this is your problem Paul. Good luck.

Just after you’ve picked up your hook, use the iHook from the the inventory on the hook from the game so it’s magnetic.

How to hook ducks? When I try to play Hook a Duck with iHook, Nelly just says “I can’t reach them with it!” What’s the wrong? Is it just me?

Hi Paul,

I made Nelly Cootalot and I hope you enjoy it. However, like many freeware games and several classic adventures, Nelly Cootalot does not have voice acting. I would strongly recommend you read the voices aloud yourself in a succession of hilarious accents. It is a lot of fun.

All the best,

- Alasdair
