adding break points and debugging causes freeze-up
I sometimes use breakpoints to help me figure out how something works (then of course, press F5 to run in debug mode) but when I do that with the space sample, it causes my whole system to freeze up, forcing me to restart my computer. Does anyone know why that is?

Firstly, you should give full system / software details with a question such as this. Sounds like you're on MSVC but you don't say what version.
My experience is that hangs in MSVC are due to a bad install, sometimes due to not having the latest service pack (VC6 specifically), sometimes caused by installing a bad plugin one time. If it actually freezes your entire machine (hard lock), then you probably have a video driver or hardware problem.
Unless you're trying to debug in fullscreen mode. Don't try that, it's very silly unless you have dual-head or remote debugging
