But for one thing there are no instruments to choose from. Both
right click on a track and going to find 'instrument' in the menus
yeilds a blank menu.
This immediately made me think "I bet he's using a 64-bit machine", and
tracking back through the thread I see that that's true.
Rosegarden has had various problems on 64-bit hardware. In the version
you have, synchronising MIDI devices between sequencer and GUI
processes was failing because someone had used different sizes of int
on opposite sides of a comms protocol. That's fixed now, but we still
have reports of crashes when playing/recording MIDI:

These things are proving tricky to track down, because none of the
developers has any access to 64-bit hardware at the moment.
