Hi robert,
Did Alexei mention the new arrivals shelf in dialogue? It won't be active if he hasn't.
A couple of tips from MaG in an older thread with the same issue:
Talk to him after Nancy eavesdrops about losing the evidence locker key and asking the others to follow the detective. Then after following him - end up at the antiques store.
Did you follow the trail or stopovers of the detective starting at Pancake City?

It might be that you haven't triggered the dialogue with Alexei that you need for the puzzle to become active. It's the detective trail that triggers this -- so be sure to have followed that trail back to the antiques store. Check the section of MaG's walkthrough that relates to this, and see what you still need to do there.

The map is a large one -- it's fixed to the wall directly opposite the counter. You should be able to examine it without needing to trigger anything else first.

Yes - here:
Find Detective Ryan's key:
Go near the Chief's office door and eavesdrop on the call. It seems that Detective Ryan lost the evidence locker key. He thinks he lost it at Pancake City.
Go back to your cell and use the phone. Call Ned or George to ask help finding the key. Transfer the case.
George or Ned:
Follow Detective Ryan's trail: Exit the area and be at map. Go to the places Detective Ryan visited.
Pancake City is below the Riverfront Park at bottom of the map. Mabel Rose's is close to top left of the map.
The Antiques Shop is at middle of the map above the river.

No, Robert. Before you can get an accelerant sample - you have to have a container to place it on. Antiques Shop: Go to the antiques shop.
Check the display on the table across from the New Arrivals shelf. Take the free glass vial. The antique shop is just across from the van. You can continue on the walkthrough from here.

Can you see the gear icon at bottom of screen? Try ESC key and see if another menu appears. If not - close the program; then open it again and see if the main menu has the gear icon or options.
