Hi Sean,
Since both plots and manipulates use the same global variables they
will interact continuously if they are visible in the same notebook.
Use DynamicModule to localize the variables and shield them from each
other.
Like this:
DynamicModule[{k1, k2, b0, bp0, dsol, b},
Manipulate[
dsol = DSolve[{k1 k2 b[t] == k1 b'[t] + b''[t], b[0] == b0,
b'[0] == bp0}, b[t], t];
Plot[Evaluate[b[t] /. dsol], {t, 0, 10}, PlotRange -> All], {k1,
0.1, 10}, {k2, 0.1, 10}, {b0, 0.1, 10}, {bp0, 0.1, 10}]]
Cheers -- Sjoerd
