I don't know about everyone else, but I am finding the controls for the battle between Graham and Shadrack very cumbersome...the crown keeps appearing and hindering my attack/defense.
I've also found a few bugs in the game.

Kootsie, yes it took me several times to get through that battle. And unfortunately, I couldn't even keep a saved game afterward because the final scene plays immediately afterward. It's too bad they didn't implement a skip feature for those of us who aren't good at/don't care for action sequences. Just keep trying. Is it the rocking of the boat that keeps giving you trouble? I know that's what caused me the most grief. What you have to do is ready your cursor over the arrow opposite the direction the boat is tilting and click it as soon as the crown cursor turns into an arrow. You'll have to do this two or three times, as Shadrack won't be content with only one attempt. I'd offer to send you a saved game, but as I said, I unfortunately couldn't create one.

Thanks Venus...I get to a certain point in the battle and the game hangs...very frustrating. I am able to keep Graham stable in the boat but like I said, it hangs up there w/Shadrack at about 1/2 helth.
I think I shall uninstall again and see if that works.

That's too bad; I hope reinstalling works for you! Did you install just Episode 4 by itself, or was it the full build? If you just installed the episode by itself, you may want to try uninstalling everything and try the full build. Make sure you copy and keep your saved games elsewhere, though, since uninstalling will delete them! I keep mine on a disk. Another thing you may try is installing the game in C:\The Silver Lining instead of its default location. This may help. If you already have the full build and reinstalling in a different location doesn't help, you can always ask over at the TSL tech forum here - http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?board=58.0.

I ran into the Save/Restore problem mentioned in the TSL forum. I can't save or restore a game in the full version which I downloaded so I'd have everything in one file. I'm downloading it again in case that helps but this time I'm going to do what I should have done before and install the game in My Documents.
Talk about a bummer! I'd already played through Episode 3. Now it looks as if I'll have to do all that again.

Traveler, can't you keep your saved games in another location, so you won't have to replay the entire episode?
Yes, I know Chief encountered that saved games issue, and installing the game under C:\TSL solved the problem for him.

venus,
I think my saves will be alright in My Docs. I've had this issue so many times I should have learned by now not to put a game in any form of Program Files. Using My Docs for Tale of a Hero was absolutely the only way I could play that game (which I thoroughly enjoyed), forget saves. One of these days, I'm going to remember not to be forgetful.

Traveler, I know what you mean about forgetfulness.  Ah, that reminds me, I still have to buy Tale of a Hero! I know I have that link saved somewhere. MaG, thanks for adding the pictures of Graham to the top of the TSL walkthrough! Chief's wife created them by using Graham's face from TSL's family picture, and I think she did a great job!

I tried writing down the sequence of defense/attack but every time I restore or retry, the sequence changes.

What do you mean, the sequence changes? Do you mean Shadrack's charges have different results? They were always the same for me.
Or do you mean that the order he performs them in changes? If this is what you mean, I'm afraid there is no way around that. You just have to try to anticipate what's going to happen. It's somewhat easy to remember because his spinning charges equals using wind protection for Graham, and his "normal" charges equal water protection.
The lightning bolts he shoots are a little harder to anticipate. You just have to guess where it's going to land and have Graham dodge in the proper direction. My only way through that was just my best guess. Sometimes I got it right and others wrong, but at least the latter only caused Graham's health meter to decrease.
It was the rocking of the boat that was the most cruel because if Graham fell, that was it. No lowered health meter, Graham was just dead, and I had to start all over. As I've said, all you can do in this situation is just hover your mouse over the opposite directional arrow the boat is rocking and click it as quickly as you can once you have control. Be prepared to do this two or three times.

I was referring to the type of attacks that Shadrack uses change.
