SMBX crashes when I try using an animated BG?

I've encountered this problem since I downloaded SMBX. When I try using an animated background (e.g SMW underwater, SMB3 waterfall etc.), the program starts to lag horribly and I can't work on my level. Sometimes, it crashes my whole computer and I have to restart the whole system. I tried re-installing it, but the same problem happens. It's not because of the free space or RAM, either. I have at least 13GB free space. Is it just random or it happened to someone else? I have Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows XP professional. (It only happens on Windows 7, but XP is very slow and there isn't a lot of disk space for me to store my custom graphics and levels.)

Too many animated BGOs cause SMBX to lag. Use less of them or check "disable frameskip" before using SMBX.

Are there any background programs or processes running? I usually have that problem and that is my solution. You can check task manager for stuff like that.

It happens even if I don't have anything except the SMBX program running.

How are your PC specs and informations? SMBX surely is quite a strong Programm to run inside your PC so we need Infos from your PC more closely so we can figure out. SMBX's Requirements (at least where I found it out):
OS : Windows 95, 98, XP, Vista, or Windows 7
Processor : 1.8 GHz
Memory : 512 (1024 for Windows Vista and Windows 7)
Graphics : 128 MB Videocard
Hardrive Space : 150 MB
Mouse and Keyboard Required
Gampads/Joysticks (Optional)
Here is where I get it from:

I checked everything, it's all okay. The lag only happens when I try putting an animated background. SMBX itself doesn't lag too much, just when there are a lot of NPCs. If my PC can handle a 1GB game, then it can handle SMBX.
