I was having similar issues and found out that most (but not all) of the problem was that my computer's processor wasn't big enough. I've heard from others on this board that DS takes a lot of processing power. I was using an old Dell desktop and then a new emachine, but both had slow processors (CPU). So I just purchased a desktop with an Intel i5 processor and it's much better. I still have one issue that causes a freeze up and I plan on contacting Melco about it. It's when I have text on an arc and if I select just one of the letters and try to move it left/right by clicking and dragging--many times it freezes up still! I thought at first it was an issue related to TrueType fonts, but it also does it when using Melco alphabets. I think it might be related to the arc because the blue line under the text that you see on an arc, turns into a blue line sticking out on a strange angle. I'm curious if anyone else has had this issue? (Sorry, I know I digressed and that's not the issue that this post was really about!)
