Need help. I have Xp 2002 Home edition Service pack 2 with 2.40 GZ
and 512 RAM. I have a 40 min. video with transitions and sound. Whe
previewing the video skips,freezes while sound continues. At other
times the sound skips and at times it all freezes up. I have done 30
minute videos before witha few short audio skips before. I have
tried to do a system restore. Changed the Drive to NTFS, changed
processor scheduling from programs to back grouns and memory usage
from programs to system cache as suggested by someone that wrote in
to Papajohn. Iam about the trash the PC and the windows moviemaker
and go to the darkside and get an Imac. What say you wise people.
Can someone out there help me.
================================
Just a few ideas.....

Sounds like resource issues...and it's also
possible that the project is too complex with
many transitions and effects.

Also you may have some incompatibility
issues with your source files. Have a look
at the following article:

File type compatibility with Movie Maker

Installing more RAM would certainly be an
improvement. It could also be worth a try to
increase the size of your Virtual Memory
Paging File. The following article explains how:

(308417) HOW TO: Set Performance Options
in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308417

Might be worth a try to disconnect from the
net and close all programs...especially virus
scanners before opening Movie Maker.

Sometimes it can improve performance to
run Disk Cleanup, Error Checking and Defrag.

It also may be a good idea to create several
smaller projects and save them as movies.
Then re-import them and join them together.
