I got brave enough to tackle the Holy Family over Christmas. I got that puzzle in an archive of puzzles someone sent me on this forum to use in PicPuz. Problem is, I'm positive there are two errors in the puzzle. I printed out the PDF solution (found elsewhere for people who did this in hardcopy) and what I have matches that, but according to PicPuz there are errors in two places. Has anyone tried this puzzle and had a similar problem?
Problems I found:
1) in the first column of the 12th set of 5 columns from left: does this column start with a blue 3 or 4? The solution I found in another forum about megapuzzles shows it should start with a four, but my puzzle says 3.
2) 24th set of 5 rows down, row 2 in this set; in the 4th column in the 18th set of 5 columns from the left: should this be blue 4 or 5 (second set of blues after 3 blacks in that row)? My puzzle says it should be 3 black, 4 blue, 4 blue, but my solution (and the printed one) is 3 black, 4 blue, 5 blue. The square I identified starts the 5 blues.
I hope this is clear. Hard to identify spaces in such a large grid! It has been driving me nuts but I think my solution is correct. Maybe it got scrambled in the conversion to PicPuz format?
Any help appreciated.

Error 1 - My copy of the puzzle shows the same error. The column should start with a blue 4.
Error 2 - I couldn't figure out which row/column you were refering to.

Sorry I wasn't clearer on the second. I've got a terrible head cold right now. The row in question is 29 up from the bottom of the picture. It reads 18 green, 2 brown, 2 red, 4 brown, 2 red, 3 brown, 3 blue, 1 blue, 3 blue, 1 blue, 2 blue, 1 blue, 1 black, 1 blue, 3 black, 4 blue, 4 blue... in the puzzle I received. But according to the solved picture, it should be 5 blues after the 4 blue. Does your puzzle have the same error?
Also, does anyone know how to edit the puzzles to fix errors like this?

Wendy, I checked the pdf-file and the Picpuz-file I had, and You are absolutely right. Explaining the editing seemed to be so hard, that I edited my Picpuz-file myself, and I'll send it to You. The one, which is solved/saved, I can not edit.
Leena
EDIT: Wendy, there is something wrong with Your e-mail address. It came back claiming the address does not excist anymore.

Leena, I'd love to have a copy too. I fixed my email address; I haven't used that one in years! I'm so glad to know that my solution was right. I was so proud of myself for solving that huge thing and then had those two errors staring at me. I can't tell you how many much time I spent trying to ensure my solution was the correct one.
Thanks so much!

Leena,
I would like to get the edited puzzle of the holy family. I had solved the puzzle and had the same errors, but left it at that.
But it is nice to have the right puzzle in my archive.
Love, and thanks in advance
Wilma

Help, please!
I am not very good with computers, and am having trouble transferring the weekly puzzles across into PicPuz.
Whenever I try using Webloader, it comes up with the 'file not found' message. I don't know if it could be anything to do with the fact that my connection is through a university server.
How do we also convert pdfs so we can use PicPuz?
Thanks

There isn't a way to convert pdf's to PicPuz format but you can create your own puzzles and put them into the game. The directions are in the read-me file in the game folder.

volunteer987 -- when you click the web loader -- perhaps if you wait until it finishes searching, you'll then see the message that new puzzles are available, and might then be able to download them. If you try to download before it finishes, you'll get that file not found message.
Also, I'd posted before, folks, that a computer which I'd been given (used) just won't open PicPuz puzzles. The program installation seemed to go ok. But any time I try to open a puzzle, the program closes itself and disappears.
Can anyone think of any kind of driver conflict or other conflict that might cause this behavior?

No, I didn't move the folder. And I used the installer PicPux 0.99 beta from page 1.
The only thing I can think of is that the person who previously had the computer had both English and Chinese language support in Windows XP. I noticed that the splash screen had a "?" instead of the copyright symbol. So I wonder if somehow, the Chinese language support might be introducing a problem. It seems like a stretch, though.

For soem reason my picpuz does not work properly. For example, when I was trying to open a file, it would just shut down the program on its own, and whenever I finish the last square of a FAP puzzle, it would just have an error msg and then quit on its own. Can anyone help me to fix this problem?
I am currently using WINXP but do not want to install any service pack.

Leena,
I just noticed you made a correction to the Holy Family for PicPuz. Would you mind sending my a copy?
Thanks,
Patti
