[How do I follow tutorial?]

OK, thanks for the replies. It must just be a problem specific to my computer.

[How do I follow tutorial?]

OK, I bought this game, downloaded it (only because I couldn't get a printed manual with the boxed version), and I'd like to go through the tutorials. But I can't tell what I'm supposed to be doing in the tutorials while the game is running.

When I try to Alt-Tab to desktop, so I can read the pdf file, the Windows taskbar sort of blinks momentarily, but that's it. So what am I doing wrong? I've got Windows XP.

I suppose I could print out the 24 pages or so in the manual that's about the tutorial - indeed, I will do that, if necessary - but it seems unnecessarily awkward. Besides, I'm sure this won't be the only time I'll be wishing I could read the manual!

I must say that I'm surprised that the tutorial instructions aren't integrated with the tutorial itself. (I was also disappointed that I couldn't get a printed manual, but I guess that's how games are these days.)

So, am I doing something wrong, is this a known bug, or what? How do I read the manual while playing the game?
