alice-teacher Alice 3 on Windows 7 still not working as expected

[Donald Slater]

We have found that sometimes adjusting hardware acceleration, particularly with Windows 7 machines, helps with this problem.

We also are not experiencing these problems on later versions of Windows, Windows 8, Widows 10, as well as the Mac version…

Thank you for the description of what is going on. It was very helpful. Because many of the Transport classes in Alice 3 comes from the Sims assets, we tried the same steps you have outlined, but added Sims characters and found the same behavior. This has helped us focus on where a potential source of the problem is.

Let is know if adjusting hardware acceleration on your machines help with this problem.

All the best, and thank you,

I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

It seems to particularly when adding a second object to scene that is not a Transport class object.  For example, I can keep adding Transport objects and maneuver each one as needed.  However, when adding another type of object, such as a person, the objects stay static n the scene and cannot be moved.
