What plugins do you have Bryan? Maybe one of them is opening on
startup and doing something weird. While I haven't run 2.7 under
Windows yet, many other people have done so without experiencing your
crashes.

Here are some more questions that might enable people here to track
down your problem:
- what version of Windows are you running?
- are you running as an admin user?
- did you install Rev in the default directory?
- is the same stack always running when it crashes?
- can you get a crash report?

Hopefully we can gather enough information to get this problem fixed.
