Alice and Vista compatibility?

I cannot say with certainty that this is a Vista-only issue since I did not have two monitors under WinXP,

I could not get Alice to drag and drop on my secondary monitor in XP Pro. I didn't spend a lot of time on it because changing my primary worked, but some version of the problem existed in XP Pro at least.

2 things.

1. CAn u have two alice windows at the same time? Like two player screen thing, cuz i keep hearing about 2 monitors.

2. While working with vista in alice, here are some problems i encountered.
not sure if they are just incapable with alice though.

1. Cannot copy methods with parameters in them.
2. White objects appear gray

I use Vista Home Premium and the only bug i have with alice is when i go to add a new object and i'm scrolling through whatever picture (or frame or whatever it's called) that was on the right edge of the screen drags.

example:

I've been having a problem that I'm not sure is due to Vista. I get through the game intro and up to that first point when you have control to move Alice and the game goes back to the main menu. I tried starting over and it did the same thing, so I can't even play the game. Does anyone know what could be causing that?

Ya I get that screen drag thing too. I found an easy way to fix it though. Run any application in the background! I just use an empty Google Chrome page (the startup page) and I have it up, and then I open Alice on top of it. This completely gets rid of the drag for me on Vista.
