Re: Please HELP!!

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

No, that would be your last resort....

First you need to be sure the project needs splitting due to your memory
limits... if it's a memory issue than splitting doesn't involve replacing
source files.

But if it's not a memory issue and you need to get into your source files...
try stripping your project of all files but the audio/music ones... save it
to a movie and, being audio/music only, it'll save it to a WMA file.... if
that renders and plays fine, it can be your new source file in WMV format
without having to convert each file and doing re-editing.
