Emberwing: Lost Legacy HD - A Hidden Object Adventure with Dragons 9+

Plenty of good mixed-level challenges, without being just a bunch of hidden object mini puzzles, and isn't over in five minutes as some games are. The story's not bad, but I generally don't play because of the story. I liked the interactive map that takes you immediately to where you want to go as sometimes you can get lost in games with multiple locations. The only down side for me is that I've completed the main game and am now playing the bonus game, but I can't get into the shed. I've cut away the glue on the boarded window with the knife, unscrewed the four corner screws, and now, nothing. I've wasted two hints - which just circle the slats on the window but none of my inventory items work. Anyone out there know what to do?

Up til now this has been a really fun little game. Challenging but not too much so. Im now inside the house and the graphics have become dark and the hints are not enough to "do" the next challenge, which is frustrating. I've been stuck here for a couple of days and have become disinterested. I'm wondering whether to reinstall the whole game.
None the less, until this point absorbing and interesting

Was enjoying this game, mini games quite diverse, but when I got to the library, and played the game identifying items in the pictures for the first time, I finished it, but had to come out of the game. When I went back in, the game opened at the same place, but expected me to play the game again! I couldn't because all the items were now missing from the pictures!
I started the game again, but when I got to the library, and attempted to start it again, it was at the 3rd picture, and I was stuck again. I have given up for now. Very disappointed.
