Now open Blender...

To Start, your mouse cursor should be in one of the upper windows (3D views). The “YOUR THEATER” text should be highlighted purple.
The red & white cursor should be in the middle of the earth. Don’t left click in these windows or you will move the cursor.
If this happens, re-open the file and start over.
