ArchiCAD version 12 freezing

Our office upgraded from version 11 to version 12 2 weeks ago. I was fine working on it until last Friday. The program froze 6 times. There was nothing specific I was doing. 2 of the times I was hitting the save button. 2 of the times I was moving and object. Today I opened the same file and worked on it for 5 hours and then it froze again. I ended the program, opened it and not even 3 steps in, it froze again and then again.

I have renamed the file, saved it as something else, scanned the file, scanned the ArchiCAD program file and nothing comes up.

I am running Windows XP service Pack 2, have 3GB of RAM and 34 GB of empty harddrive space. I have Java 6 update 7 and Quicktime 7. The computer is a Pentium D. Everything else is compatable.

Any ideas? Help? Anyone else experiencing this?

That sounds exactly like what happens on my computer. The only way I can close the program is to kill it in task manager.

Ugh....
