Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb HELP

Can anybody help me with the Castle level? One I pass all the blades and
stuff in the dungeon I'm supposed to climb a chain and swing to the
window, but there's no way to swing the chain on the PC version. Is
there a patch (couldn't find mention of that on the LucasArts website)?

Anybody else found the controls horrible to use? I have all LucasArts
adventures since Zac Mc Cracken, and all Indy but this is by far the
worse GUI I've seen, and the loading time is just ridiculous.

Thanks for any help

VERY horrible to use indeed..in fact is why I stopped playing the game..I
was stuck at exactly the same point ur describing. Before it was still
'playable' with the horrible controls but that just did it for me..loading
time same story..takes damn long to load and doesnt even offer in-game
saving..they best come up with better PC versions next time instead of those
damn console-versions

I found out what the problem is: I remapped the keys because the default
ones suck (w, a, s, d to move? C'mon LucasArts...) and use the cursors
instead, because of that I couldn't swing since you gotta use the moving
keys
to swing and the cursor keys to go up and down the chain.

Now I'm stuck soon after on another chain, the one before the library,
there's
really no way to find the exact point on where to swing in order to
reach the balcony. It sucks!

WSAD is the standard control scheme for 1st person and also most 3rd person
games. Although I do prefer to use the sursor keys, too. :-(
