Hi,

The INI files used for this demo are using settings specific for the experiment shown. In your case (Hand-held kinect mapping), you are effectively better to start with default settings.

For the crashes, it seems related to OpenNI used in the PCL library (pcl_io_release.dll). Are you on Windows 7 or Windows 8? Recently, I tried the Microsoft Kinect SDK and it worked in Windows 8 under OpenNI2 driver. Installation steps on windows were updated (you may need to uninstall OpenNI):
Windows 8: Install Kinect for Windows SDK 1.6  (Note for 0.8.3: select OpenNI2 driver in RTAB-Map: "Detection-> Select source -> RGB-D Camera -> Xtion PRO LIVE-> OpenNI2")

Cheers,
Mathieu
