if i click any one of the options , the pgn is not played continuously from move one. what to do ?

if we open a pgn in winboard, it will play as if in a slideshow. i want this feature in arena. when i load the pgn and click on DEMO it was supposed to play it continuously. kindly suggest. thanks

You really should try reading the Help information that comes with Arena. The programmer spent a lot of time creating this Help file, and some people act like it doesn't even exist. Yell <rant over>

The Demo feature is for playing a game with an engine playing both sides. Demo does NOT scroll through an already played game. For that task, you should use the replay feature. (There's both an auto-replay feature and a manual replay feature.) For more info, please RTFM (read the, uh, fine manual).

I should note that in my copy of Arena 3.5, the speed setting of auto-replay is broken; Auto-replay always goes at medium speed regardless of its speed setting. (The manual-replay speed can be adjusted, though.)
