Tutorial visual locks up (sound just keeps going), but shift tab seems to get it back sometimes.

This is with patch 1.10

WinXP, all the patch. McAfee turned of. Anti-spyware turn off. Patched up to v 1.10. 1.8GHz machine running 756MB ram.

Tutorial will lock up the visual only. The lady seems to ramble on about races, but the cursor in the tutorial doesn't go anywhere. Shift+Tab to change to another application and then going back gets the tutorial's cursor to go again. My cursor works fine, but that lady's not keeping up w/her talking.

I had exactly the same problem, and looked at some other posts. Turning off antialiasing didn't help, but switching the tutorials to full-screen mode totally fixed it.
