Version of AM and Windows would be helpful.

Things to look at:
- video mode | AM--> Configuration-->General-->Window Mode = <try them all to see if any work>
- correct/latest video drivers
- correct/latest directx installed
- correct/latest Microsoft Visual C++
- try different layout/theme to test (not all layouts work with all versions of AM)
- run the "console.exe" version of AM to see what the errors are

If it's freezing only in AM 2.6.0 it may be related to this commit
