Scal crashes

[CricutLady]

Ok i've been trying to cut out some boxes. I'm using the box font and I get my box on the mat. I drag to the size I want, now some times it will freeze when doing this. I try to put another box so I can cut 2 on the page and this is when it freezes every time! Other then this it is working fine so far! Any idea if there is something I can do to keep it from freezing up? I'd like to be able to put 2 boxes or what ever I want to cut with out SCAL freezeing.
I'm on a Vista 32 bit computer.
Help Please!

Right Click on Desktop Icon of SCAL, click on Properties, click on Compatability tab, then select "Run this program in compatability mode for Windows Xp (Service Pack 2)" and press Apply / Ok. Cheers Kris
