WOW. That's a seriously slow computer. And I thought I had the worst toaster on this forum.
The game probably isn't "Locking up" in the sense you think it is. When the game "Locks up" (Not outright crashes), It's simply loading the elements of the Engine type you chose. The reason it takes so long that it looks like it "Locks up" is well, simply due to your Computer being REALLY slow. Like, I've never seen a single core 2.2Ghz in a machine past 2006. If you want Windows to actually be properly useable, never mind play Automation, I think it's time for an upgrade.
If Windows tells you that "Automation is not responding" as if there's a fault with the program (Or any other program for that matter) It can be lying to you. I'm pretty sure Windows will only do this when it feels a program should be executing more data in a certain period of time. My computer tells me this too sometimes, and if there's no fault with the program all I have to do is wait and it will eventually come to again.
My computer has started to take it's time to load elements since the update too, but it finishes eventually. You probably just have to wait it out.
I have a Pentium Dual-Core T4500 2.3Ghz for comparison. Almost the same CPU, I just have one more core than you. And that makes all the difference.
If Automation IS outright crashing though, It's something the devs would have to help you with, I'm sure.
