First issue was fixed by turning compatibility mode to W98.
Second issue was also kind of fixed, just spend a couple of minutes in the tutorial section and the guy will move on from the camera. Not sure why it took so long.
Coloured Cursors work with this patch: www.blitz-art.neostrada.pl/ww/wdo_winxp_color_cursors.rar
Thanks.
Edit: So the only issue is the tutorial takes longer to finish than usual. Pretty nice fix! Thanks guys
