Crashing while typing since Issue 19?

Wrong section, I'm afraid. You want the "Technical Issues and Bugs" forum. Note, one of the stickey threads is called something like "Help us help you" - read it, and run the programs they link to (HijackThis and CoH Helper).
This is more the "Where do I get a 2nd costume" type help stuff.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
I'm unsure if this is new, nor if it merely effects myself. As a note, I am on Virtue and Role Play a lot. As such, I type posts that can take time and need a second or third to finish my descriptions. Since I19, I've noticed that often times I'll crash. The game will freeze, my cursor giving the -thinking- action, then I'll tab out using the Start key to find out why, only to get an error and require an exit. Even if I don't hit the Start button, eventually it leads to such a message.
I know people crash every day, yet it seems to happen while I'm RPing. Typing quickly or such. Could it be the swift action of hitting the Enter key to post then quickly hitting it again to continue typing? Has anyone else had such an issue, as it's only seemed to begin since I19 for myself. I do crash without typing too, yet it could be heavy traffic in a zone or such. It seems to happen if I have Yahoo messenger and/or Skype running, yet I should be able to run such on a 3GB RAM PC.
Notes: I use Windows 7 64bit. City of Heroes' compatibility is set to "Run as administrator" and "Disable desktop composition."
I'm unsure if that'll explain much, yet I do find I also have issue with CoX causing the taskbar to shift to an older version of Windows.
Thank you for listening.
