Starting a new game

Having to ask this question probably doesn't paint me in a particularly good light, but here we go anyway:

How do I start a new game of Knytt? The start screen looks like this for me:



You'll notice that the three 'slot' buttons appear to be slightly greyed out. Clicking them has no effect. I'm using Windows 7 x64.

• I've tried forcing the .exe to run as administrator.
• I have extracted the .exe from the zip archive.
• I have completed the short tutorial more than once.
• I have tried quitting and restarting.

Please help! (Or point out my stupidity.)

First, go through the instructions. (you actually need to finish it) Its a small 6 screen tutorial that teaches you the controls. Once you have that, you can start a new game.

I believe the problem in the end was that the .exe had somehow ended up in a read-only folder. Making it writable fixed the problem.
