VIDDING HELP NEEDED
Okay, vidders.
I am assuming the fact that the program/my entire computer freezes up every ten seconds whilst I am trying to make a vid means that I don't have enough memory. But which type of memory? Is my hard drive not large enough, or do I need more RAM?
Note: I am using WMM. I do not need anything fancier than WMM. If it would cease and desist FUCKING UP ALL THE TIME, I would be perfectly happy to continue using WMM. But is there a chance there will be less upfucking with a different program? And if so, what should I use?
I have a pet project that I fiddle with occasionally and want to work on a lot during the holidays, and it'd be nice to get through it without screaming and putting my fist through Fabian's dementedly flickering screen.

Of course it could just be a Microsoft bug, that wouldn't suprise me.

Providing you have plenty of free HDD, I'm not sure :/ 1gb ram should be fine, and your processor isn't terrible; Joel is inclined to believe that might be what's most holding you back, but I don't think WMM would be overloading it, really. :/
Ill and Nhay agree with me :o so yeah, I'd say it's probably lack of free hard drive or your video card, drivers or otherwise.

yeah, i really don't know um, anything, about laptop video cards, except that they're naturally limited by being on-board.
I'll throw my hat in the "probably your graphics card" camp. :o but don't take my word as gospel. it isn't overheating, is it?

WOE. I appear to be doomed to never be able to vid on this computer.

But I am awake at 3:18 in the morning and feel no signs of tiredness!
I hate everything!

Ok, do a disk cleanup and make sure it does the temp files and the internet cache. Then do a scandisk, which should solve the problems you're having with defrag, and then do a defrag (make sure you've no programs running in the background when you defrag, screensavers and stuff, they can slow it down or even stop it). That should sort the errors mesages (fingers crossed).
Then try the video stuff again. If its still having problems, update your video card drivers, also see how much free space you have on your c drive, windows likes lots of room to maneouvre when its running programs.
(the scratch disk thing I mentioned is how some programs grab extra memory to fool around in, they write to the hard drive and back as well as using RAM. If there's not much free hard drive space they can't do that, which slows performance.)
