I must preface this by telling you that I am not very technical at all. So if the solution involves messing about with files, would you supply baby steps, thanks.

I bought "Stonekeep" from you ages ago, but never got around to it. The other day I installed it on my "Win 7" laptop and found that while I could access the mirror and the inventory by hovering the mouse as described in the manual, I didn't get anything for Journal. (And subsequently no map either.)

The keyboard shortcuts described in the manual for journal and/or map do nothing either and I couldn't find it by simply pressing every key on the keyboard individually, in the hope it was bound someplace else.

I'm never surprised by issues on this laptop because it really isn't a gaming machine at all and I always count it as a bonus if a game actually runs well on there. But now I downloaded and installed "Stonekeep" on a separate Win XP machine I found exactly the same problem!

It's official then, I'm clearly doing something wrong. :) Many thanks in advance for your help to get me going.
All the best

It's been awhile since I last played, but I do believe you don't start with the journal/map. You need to find it/them. I can't remember if the map is apart of the journal or not.
Ah, thanks thealienguy, I knew I must be missing something. Back in those days it was sometimes an understatement to say that games didn't hold your hand. :) Good news is that I can put it back on my laptop now. :) I could have played it on the XP machine, but without boring you with the details it's the laptop where I wanted it. :)

Thanks fella.

The Journal with the characters description , their stats, and their effects along with the Map, Map notes, and Item descriptions is not provided when you first enter the game. You will need to descend one floor, and the proceed towards the north and then east. Down the middle of the northern most hall vertical hall, there will be a door that leads south. Take it. The door on the right will have a Sharga that speaks to you when you enter. The Journal will be on the table behind it. Instead of trying to stand and fight the Sharga, Proceed towards the table, turn left so you face another door, and back up against the wall that will have a straw bed to your right, I believe. Then kill the sharga. Turn around and there will be a false brick you can raise with an extra potent healing root. Collect the journal from the table, and you'll have two good things from one room. :)
