Hey there, I'm not the guy you're looking for, but I had a similar problem to you just today. I tried finding ways to fix it, but so far the only thing that worked was to use the new game option to skip to ch 5. I haven't gotten farther than the room, but I was able to move at a normal speed, save the game, and see the text box background again at least, so hopefully the bug is fixed. It doesn't look like from the comment bug reports that the new game skip option was intended for this, but it's a solution (and I could just be plain wrong and it actually is). Hope this helps.
