After playing for a while and saving a game, it appears that I'm forced to sit through the entire opening sequence again before having the opportunity to return to the notebook to load the saved game. I played 11th Hour 'back in the day', and think this could be bypassed, but can't seem to do it in this version.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any suggestions or solutions!

Edit: Please note that I'm referring to 11th Hour, not 7th Guest. How does one skip the intro sequence?

I don't think you can skip the 7th guest intro.
In the other hand I can skip the 11th Hour intro.

I tried it again and I can only skip the FMV part of the intro.
And then when you try to load a saved game from the main menu, every time you have to see the intro credits, and I couldn't find any method to skip it.

So you were right. If anyone knows how to skip gamma calibration / credits when you load a saved game would be great.
