Paul Bunyan: Cannot Skip Through Checkers Instructions (152706)

SYMPTOMS

After you click the icon to start the checkers game, if you attempt to bypass PJ's instructions by clicking the mouse or by pressing the ESC key, the program may not advance. The instructions may not terminate, depending on which instructions are being narrated.

RESOLUTION

Depending on which portion of the narration you are watching, it may be possible to click on PJ and stop the narration. The following section describes when and if you can click on PJ to stop the instructions he is giving you when you are starting the checkers game:

You can stop PJ's narration by clicking on PJ while PJ is balancing on the checker and talking or while he is saying, "Who do you want to play? Paul, or another Friend?"
If you click on PJ just before, or immediately as he starts to say, "To start the game choose Easy, Medium, or Hard" the narration will stop. Otherwise PJ will continue his narration, and clicking on him will not stop the narration.
After you have chosen the difficulty level for the game, PJ will say, "OK. Good luck. Black goes first. Pickup a black piece and move it to a nearby black square. And if you not sure how to play, click the booklet." You can't stop this narration by clicking on PJ, it will always play in its entirety.
