I have only just started this game and am already stuck I am in the long room (just after the crane bit) - have climbed up the windows onto the beams and jumped down onto the chandelier (about tem times now!!) and it won't crash to the ground. I am certain that is what is meant to happen as I have since looked it up in 3 different walkthroughs. Anyone got a clue what's up?

Have you tried hitting the chain that holds it up with a plank of wood? I'm pretty sure that's what I did and it worked.

Many many thanks Thank you for taking the time and trouble to help ... it would have been a pity to get totally stuck so early on. I am very grateful

(On a general note: I have a tendancy to look for overly complicated solutions - hopefully I'll learn from this).
