V1.1 - Continuous Crashes! Did not have this problem with 1.0

Question

I posted a couple of days ago, still no changes. This is ridiculous. Adobe, why would you put out a faulty update? I had no crash problems with version 1.0 and though on the surface v 1.1 APPEARS to be faster, I can never keep the program on long enough to truly find out. When I try to change an image star rating or undo a processing edit, I get nothing but crashes...literally every couple of minutes.
Now I've been having problems unistalling v1.1 so I can re-install v1.0. This is extremely frustrating, what are we supposed to do for help?
System:
PC Windows XP service Pack 2
P4 3.2ghz
2.5 GB of RAM

Answer 1

Well, one issue that you may be having is that your hard drive is
reaching the practical limits of capacity, and is probably horribly
fragmented.
At 90% capacity a system drive basically becomes unusable, you are at
83% capacity.
It's something that needs attention that you might want to take a look
at, since for a given library LR creates a billion gazillion files and
folders (or at least it looks that way), and it becomes VERY disk
intensive regardless of actual RAM.
When you say it didn't see your previous catalog, have you tried opening
and converting some old backup that you may have of the V1.0 versions. I
haven't really been following this thread, but many people are just
having trouble FINDING their old library for V1.1 to open and convert...
once they find the old library, everything is hunky-dory. You may want
to do a global search for " *.lrdb "

So far so good but the test will be once I start batch editing and rating again. (side note, importing seems faster, especially when not rendering standard size previews.)
