I hope this will lead you to the right spot. If you go all the way up to the objects state. If in sops press u. Select the object that you have the pop sop in. On the parameters page go to the render tab and turn on point instancing.

I just tried this i works. Try having a seperate object node for just the pop sop if it doesn't.

Another quick fix to your corupting .nchip files is to set your viewer to the text port so nothing will get cooked when you open up the scene. Then go back a couple of sops, cops, or what have you. you may actually find out what is causing it to crash. I am also running it on a nvidia geforce 3 card. And crash sometimes, but lately it's been better. Also with the redraw issues stow away the bar with all of the icons in the viewport this seems to help me since i never use them anyways.
