I do believe I've found an answer, or least a way around the problem that works for me. I restarted in Mac. 9.2.2, reinstalled an older version of LW Pro (1.7.9), restarted in OS 10.2.6 and launched Classic mode. I then opened the older version of LW in Classic. I've been only using it a few hours now but it seems MUCH more stable. No crashes yet and I was getting a crash every 10 minutes or so before. I hope this helps someone.
