Any 6.3 plugin could potentially cause an issue. No, the installer
doesn't un-install previous versions, it simply overwrites old files
that already exist with the new version, and adds new ones when
necessary.  So, you'll end up with old skins that may have been
discontinued (like default2) and any plugins you had in your plugins
folder.

It would be nice if the installer would 'disable' any existing plugins
at the very least ... especially in this case where old plugins are
causing crashes, and they're not telling folks that it's best to do a
fresh install.

Anyway ... if you do a complete un-install, and a fresh install (make
sure you delete or rename the slimserver folder in "Program Files") you
will probably not have any issues at all.

I've been running 6.5 since just before they split off the trunk for
7.0, and have been very happy with it, so it's worth the trouble to
make it work.
