Did you try using the reset elevator switch next to the circuit box (where you fixed the lights for Dexter)?

It's been a really long time since I played this game so I'm quite fuzzy on the details. If this doesn't help, hopefully someone else will be able to advise you.

Tried the elevator reset but the elevator is still locked in the basement. Stairwell still dark despite light reset. Hopefully someone can help.

If you pull down the elevator reset - lever twice; it locks it. So try it again and do that reset only once. Keep us posted. (from UHS Hints).

Tried that but elevator is still locked. Guess I'll have to go back to my last game save and replay without touching the elevator switch.

Keep us posted and on replay.

Game won't let me climb the ladder in the elevator shaft to get into the library. What do I need to do to unlock that part of the game? I have the paintbrush, I've delivered the boots,opened the locker and flipped the breaker on the light.

Sometimes you have to go pixel hunting. Move your curser until you get an "up" arrow. There's nothing to unlock as far as I can remember and I just played the game. Also, you have to be in the basement in order to reach the stairs. Any other floor won't work. The stairs are too far away.

I left the elevator on the first floor but now it is locked and won't open so I can go down to the basement and climb the ladder.

Are you able to take the stairs down to the basement? I know there's stairs down to the basement on the level where Dexter/the front desk is.

If you can get into the library and into the duct it will take you to the stairs where you can climb all the way down to the elevator. You might be able to get the elevator to work by resetting it. The reset lever is in the hallway next to the breaker box.

Thanks, Melia.

I took the stairs down to the basement and got the elevator opened and climbed the ladder but the forward arrows stop at the top of the ladder. I still can't get into the library.

I flipped some circuit breakers but Dexter keeps asking me if I fixed them yet. Which switch should I be using? Did I miss something?

Library: If I remember correctly, you have to jump down to the library.
Ah here from Mac's walkthrough:
"Open up the door and climb into the shaft. Take the ladder in front of you all the way to the second floor. When you get to the grate leading to the entrance of the second floor shaft, you’ll notice that it’s ready to fall off, like somebody’s already been through the shaft. Hop into the shaft and follow it until you come all the way to the grate that leads into the library. Open the grate and jump down into the library."

circuit breaker: From mac's wt.
Here’s how to solve this problem.
Pull the top-left triple switch to the left, and the top-rightthree single switches and the double switch, to the right.

Thanks so much. Next problem is I can't get a closeup of the desk to get the library key.

You need to go behind Dexter's desk, I believe, to the place where Dexter is usually standing. Is that where you are?

I just wasn't looking in the right place. I got it now.

Great.

I'm in the shed but I can't find the key. I go to the table and I find a newspaper clipping and some sort of plans or instructions.

The key is on the right side of the work bench.

Found it. Thanks. Now the WT says I should talk to Laura but she's not in her chair.

Have fun.

Who is Laura?

Found her. Guess there was a glitch in my game. Sorry.
--------
Laura is the photojournalist doing a story on the castle. Now I am onto the golden leaf puzzle. Do the pieces rotate or do they just move around?
-----------
Got the puzzle done.

Where do I find the blue medallion? Is it still in Jacques' locker?
