If it is all characters, including the sample characters included with CTA2, then I would advise uninstalling CTA2 and performing a clean install of the latest version.

For problem 2 are you selecting "Preview" or "Record" first and then pressing the Spacebar to start? If you are, then performing a clean install as mentioned above will be the first thing to try.
