Hi GlennlChugg!
There are two different (and complementary) approaches to obtain some more
info:

1)Regression Testing:

0.3.13 was branched from revision number 51071
Trunk is 54544. 
So there is a guilty commit in that GAP that introduced the regression.
You can use the binary search method to find the guilty commit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm
Basically, just install a "middle" revision and check if it works or not. And
keep splitting in half until you reach the guilty commit.
Thanks to this search just testing 10 or 11 revisions will tell you which is
the guilty commit.

Finding the guilty commit is the best way to find where the bug is placed.


2)Debugging.
You can find a lot of Debugging info in our Wiki. www.reactos.org/wiki
But mainly:
-Install DEBUG isos (an own build is a DEBUG ISO by default)in the VMs.
-Follow the "Debugging basics in our Wiki". Read how to set a Putty machine to
obtain debuglogs from these machines. Read it in our Wiki.
-When launching the OS select the ReactOS(Debug) Mode.
-Run the app. This time the BSOD won`t appear,but all is frozen.
-Even if you dont see anything: Dont move,write "BT" in the VM(you wont see any
characters) and hit Enter. BT in the VM not in Putty! :) You will see that
everything is redirected to the Putty console and logged.
