DSI imaging help

I am having a few issues with this DSI and Envisage software, first of all the software tends to hang a lot. The "Preview" button works only when it wants to, I click it and it counts down to zero and then just sits there until I click Abort. This happens maybe 3 out of 5 tries, sometimes more sometimes less.
I have tried reinstalling and also have the latest version of the software (5.85) and still it happens.
This is happening on my laptop computer:
Win XP Home (fresh install and fully updated)
1.5GHz Celery
768MB DDR Ram
etc

And for the few images I have managed to get so far they are not exactly pleasing to the eye (example below), any part that is a little bit brighter than the rest ends up nasty.
I have poked the settings to death and tried different exposure lenghts but always end up with the same result, so if anyone has any hints/tips/pointers etc I am all ears.
