Press the Power button longer until your tablet shuts down. If you can restart it, find a cache cleaner software to clear the cache for more space. Sometimes, the cache takes up nearly all the available space from the tablet's ROM. This slows down the tablet considerably and also causes malfunctioning of the OS.

Why can't I swipe the screen?

Maybe the screen is too dirty to recognize the finger. Try getting the wipes to wipe the screen then get some screen protectors. Also there might be something wrong with the screen.

New playbook. Welcome screen tells me to swipe to continue to setup wifi. I swipe the screen and nothing happens

try to soft reset it by engaging the reset button ..If it has such a button it should be hidden in a hole on the side and need to be pressed until restarts ..(it should be powered and on when you do this) ..
If there is no button ..it means it has something wrong with the touch screen function ...and you should try to see if the screen is not out of focus..and try to swipe it in a certain point ..and if it is indicated..try in near by locations ...If you manage to make it start you should look in the main menu for screen calibration ..and engage it ..this should make the touch screen work proper again .
In worse case you will need the firmware and reset it to factory settings ..
