Windows Movie Maker: A Big Problem!!

VII · 04-27-2008, 03:10 PM

I've been trying to create a video for 2 days now and every time I try to do something it would instantly freeze. So i went into options and unchecked the auto save option. I also did a disk clean up today which took about an hour. My free space on my C drive went from 6% to 50% which I though was really good. Then, I went back to work on my video (Thinking it might work better) but then I keep getting this error message when I try to replay my in-process video: "Not enough storage is available to process this command" What do I need to do in order to finish my video? I hear the checking virtual memory and RAM is a good idea, but I checked my RAM by right-clicking My Computer > Properties and I see that is says 0.99GB of RAM. That's bad, right? Someone help me!!

well 1GB isn't terrible, but the more you have the better. i always use 2GB on any pc i put together. i also use crucial to buy it, because they will guarantee the RAM to be compatible with the mobo. you can also increase your virtual memory. right click on 'my computer'. select properties>advanced tab>settings - under performance. after you set the new size restart the pc.
