I had a few problem like that trying to read chapter 11.2.5,'More about Dynamics'. I seem to have fixed the problem by opening the notebook in question: 11Dynamics.nb, directly from its directory under Application Data\Mathematica\Applications (perhaps elsewhere on Mac), deleting all the output (Cell menu - Delete All Output), and re-evaluating the notebook. It still sticks sometimes when opened from the Documentation Center. No problems if it's opened directly from the Applications directory though, so that's quite an acceptable way to read the book.
