Windows 7 Woes

After many years of happy use with Windows XP, I and many other users were
told that it was no longer supported. But you all know that.
So I opened my moth-filled wallet and purchased Windows 7. Along with an
upgrade to LC 5.5.2.
I can hear you all say "Aha!".
I have very carefully converted the stacks I use to the the new file format.
Then I do what I always do. I generated appropriate stand-alone engine
engines for the stacks. After the engine has been generated. The IDE locks
up and I get one of those sympathetic windows 7 dialogues stating that an
error has occurred and windows is trying to fix it.
Then it fixes things by closing down LC 5.5.2..
I thought we would be over this type of problem by the time we have gotten
to Version 7 of Windows and Version 5.5. Of LC.
Quite frankly, I'm tired of going over the same old issues and figuring out
work around's every time one of these companies wants to get more money out
of us.
Now that I've done my rant: can anyone point me toward working around the
problems they have encountered.
