Experiencing technical difficulties with Maya 2012

Hello everybody,
I have recently moved from using Maya 2008 to 2012 and I have been experiencing a few issues that are bugging the day lights out of me. Which I would like to have some help with.

1) Whenever I open Maya I notice a warning singe popping up in the Script Editor for a fraction of a second. When I open the Script I see that the warning says "// Warning: Active stereo does not work with Aero enabled. Active stereo has been disabled. //"
I have no idea what that means, if it has any meaning... Or should I just ignore it?

2) While modeling in Maya 08 I used a toll called Split Polygon Toll. The only equivalent that I could find in 2012 is something called Interactive Split Tool, by the way these tolls are located in the Edit Mesh section. At first it worked fine, until I opened my saved model later in the day to find a warning in the Scrip Editor, yet again, saying "// Warning: Can't perform polySplit5 on selection". Upon using the Interactive Split Tool on the model again, parts of the model would become transparent. I am not entirely sure but I think that the parts that do became transparent are the ones that I used the Split Toll on. The only way that I found to fix this, is to undo everything I did by pressing Z, and redo it all by pressing Ctrl+Z again and a again and again (and even then, that doesn't always work). Is there a "professional" solution to this problem? Am I doing something wrong with the Interactive Split Toll, and is there a Split Polygon Toll in 2012, or is the latter really the replacement for it?

Thanks in advance!
