For a while, please do continue to pester us. We want to help you figure 
this out, and it may help others on the list too if we know what's going on.

Your system specs should work fine, you are well within the necessary 
requirements. I don't think that's the problem. Reinstalling the app is 
the first step, as Eric suggested.

If that doesn't work, tell us what you mean when you say "freezes up". 
Does the cursor also freeze -- that is, can you still move it? Or is the 
cursor shape just frozen but it still moves? If it still moves, but you 
cannnot click on anything, you may be in an infinite loop somewhere. Try 
holding down Command-period to see if you can break out of the loop.

Does your stack have any scripts yet? In particular, does it have any 
handlers that use a repeat loop? Or is it just unscripted objects so far?

Can you work on a single new mainstack (no substacks) without a freeze?

Version 2.6.1 has been very stable for all of us, so whatever is 
happening is definitely out of the norm. The most likely thing going 
wrong would be a runaway script of some sort. Trying the Command-period 
trick will tell us if that's the case. Keep us posted. That's what we're 
here for.
