problems with 5.5, 6.6, 6.7. 7.0

I'm having problems with every version of Livecode I've tried using in the
past month or so.

On 5.5 I get a crash with an image when I use the inspector to look at the
colors/patterns.  So I started to use 7.0 a few weeks ago, but went down to
6.6 and 6.7 when I got a corrupted stack with 7.0.

On 6.6 and 6.7 I am getting random hangs (this is with a different stack to
the one where I have problems in 5.5).  I cannot find any pattern to these
hangs.  Even trying to close Livecode 6 using task manager is a problem: it
can take several attempts, and much of the screen area not occupied by
Livecode becomes distorted/unresponsive (for example, the clock moves from
the bottom right hand side of the screen where the taskbar is, to the top
left of the screen)

On 7.0 I had a corrupted stack (and since the stack file is different in
7.0, I'm very wary about continuing to use that version).

6.7 and 7.0 also have basic defects when it comes to the field object.
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14222.  I'd been using 5.5 and
only recently started to use 6.7 and 7.0.  I'm surprised no-one else
reported the defects with the scrolling field on Windows (I'm assuming they
are not confined to my copy of Windows, since runrev have acknowledged the
bug as "New").

These problems are all occurring on Windows 7.

Are there crash logs I can send to runrev?  I have no recipe whatsoever for
the problems with 6.x
