PoP / GH update

Dammit, for some reason my Prince of Persia game is frozen. I just got to the astral observatory, and to continue on in the game, I stand on a platform and Farah pulls a switch and the platform rises into the air. The platform won't rise. I have reset the game and tried several times, but it doesn't work. The game goes into the cut scene where I'm supposed to see the platform rising, but it just sits there. I can see Farah pulling the switch. There's no reason for it to do this. Argh.

I have a saved game that's saved at 28 percent completed, in the zoo. I'm considering starting from there. Which is annoying, but since I just played all those levels, I'm sure to do it quickly. Sigh.

I played Guitar Hero for a while and got five stars on several of the bonus songs. On the first try, even.
