I'm trying to follow tihe instructions in ootpb8_manual.pdf, but I must be missing something.

Step 1. I choose Game->Load Quick Start Game->Majors.quick->Create Game (button)-> ("Please wait loading databases"). Now, it tells me, "Your game has been created, but you need to create a manager identity! Go to the Game menu..."

Well, I already have a manager identity, because I have been through this entire sequence of steps 5-6 times now.

But, I dutifully go to the Game menu and to Add/Edit Human Manager. Sure enough, the previous manager identity that I created is still there, so I click on it, then click the OK button.

Not seeing an obvious next step, I make a wild guess and click Load Saved Game. Ah, I see my game there, so I click on it, then click OK.

"Please wait saving database", at which point it lists "database details".

Or, I can try Create New Game, which eventually leads me to a dialog box "You have received a personal message!". I see no choice but to read and/or delete the "job opening" messages. So, I delete all of the messages.

At this point, I don't see how to resume getting the game started, so I go back to Step 1 and repeat all of the steps again.

What I am doing wrong? Why can't I get a game started?

Thanks in advance for you help.
