What version do you have? I just noticed they recently came out with version 4, but I only have experience with versions 3 and 3.5. If you have 3, have you installed the patch to update the software to the latest 3.5.x.x version? That made it more stable for me. One thing I found when I used PanoramaMaker at work (it was the only program I used for stitching, because it did such a good job, and I was on a dual-Xeon WinXP machine) was that it really needed to be run completely on its own, and preferrably after a reboot. It's a memory hog, and if you try to do anything to it (or another program) while it's processing a job, it can easily crash. I found it was worth the wait, however, as I almost always got fantastic results from it. I can only imagine version 4 of PanoramaMaker is more stable, but I don't know that for certain.
