Myst V - Laki'ahn

Hey Folks,

I've got a problem in this age that I think might be a bug but I'm not sure. My
computer is as follows:

Compaq Presario SR1750NX (as stocked - no mods as of yet)
Integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200
2.2 GHz Athlon
1 GB RAM
Realtek AC'97 (?) sound

What else I'm not sure. I haven't had it long but I have played Riven, Exile,
URU and Revelation with no problems.

My problem is in the hallway with the elevator, counterweight and platform. I
put the symbol on the slate, drop it while up against the end of the hall facing
the elevator. I then raise the weight and proceed to the elevator and it rises
only so far as to make the the floor of the upper level eye level to me and then
starts to move down again giving me no chance to get off.

When I first encountered this I tried starting a new game. Still no go. In my
first game I hadn't completed Todelmer so I was thinking, while playing the
second game, well, maybe I'll finish up the others and then try this elevator
again......no go.

I haven't tried a un/reinstall yet fearing that may give me even more troubles.

Has anyone come across this problem? Suggestions?

If I'm doing something wrong don't worry about giving away the solution to this
puzzle. I just want to move on.

Thanks

I forgot this: I have used the singing Bahro, the snake, and some scribbling,
(and a plea to leave the platform up for one minute or so Yes, the Bahro
does sing in a trial run.
