Movie maker not publishing?

Question

okay, so my movie maker on windows vista isn't publishg! it just stops half way and says "WMM cannot publish...movie to specified location. Verify source files used in your movie are still available...etc". Everything works fine but when i try to publish it doesn't work. I'm using only avi clips and thats it. Before, it wouldn't do this until now for some reason. I made sure there is enough free space and tried looking for online for a solution but everyones old problem wasn't similar to mine.

Answer 2

you run out of ram

set up your virtual memory to manual control. windows often gets out of control if on auto.

Check you havent filled up your hard drive.  If so could cause this problem

RAM and Virtual Memory check – Any OS that has XP type taskmanager

========================

Open up the internet to eg yahoo answers and have a few things open .(eg Word excel or a couple browser pages)

If you normally play music, play that. Close down anything else just for this test.

Open Task manager >performance tab

Look at the RAM usage in the physical memory (k). If you are using more than 60% of your RAM while your computer is only doing the above then there is not much left for video or games. You may need to install more RAM

1 Gig for XP, 2 Gig for Vista

Look at the PF usage. That is the virtual memory (Paging File). Your virtual memory minimum setting should be more than what is being used at this moment.

Your virtual memory maximum should be set to 1.5 times the amount of RAM you have. Eg 1 gig RAM, therefore 1.5 gig Virtual Memory

Right click my computer icon >properties > advance tab >performance settings > advance tab > virtual memory change > select the drive with the operating system on it (normally C:) bullet custom. Enter the max value as one and a half times the RAM you have.

Remember to have your minimum setting entry,more than what was being used in the test.

In this example, if Ram is 1 gig and the PF was using 360 Meg, then I choose 500 min and 1500 max. >set

Your computer is now set for optimum performance for the RAM you have.

Its best to manual set VM as windows tend to lose its way when automatic and forgets to erase it. It can end up filling up your hard drive empty space.

google onecare safety scanner  and run the safety scanner.  It will take a couple of hours to run so set it going when you go to bed.  when it starts loading x file of x you can leave it.
