There must be a reason that your software is or appears to be "bug prone". As "techs", we are instructed to advise the customer to always install DS and AOS as the "last" programs to be loaded on any computer. This is because other big powerful cad programs such as Corel Draw and/or Adobe Illustrator will alter the registry if it finds simular files by replacing them with their own. That is a much simplfied explanation, but having these large cad programs loaded on top of DS/AOS has been known to be a problem. Another thing...if you haven't already done this, "Right" click on the 3D icon and de-activate "Hardware Acceleration" by unchecking it. This feature will definitly affect DS/AOS functions. They just don't like each other. Hardware Acceleration, I am told, only needs to be on if you are going to play some of the high end X games, etc....there are folks out there that understand this process much better than I..I don't play any computer games.... So there are a couple of problem areas, with work arounds for them..... The reason that Melco advises dedicated computers, in my opinion, is simply because it would eliminate a whole host of known varibles and simplify the process of elimination when trying to trouble shoot any given problem....
