I need help with saving

Alright, I save movie as a .wmv. Everything goes perfect. But when i import a
brand new file that I create, and when I try to render it, i get an error
message that says somthing like cannot find source! I did not modify the
filename or folder.

What type of file is it that your trying to import?

So if I understand you correctly you import the AVI into your collections
and drag it to the timeline.
After editing you try to render it and that's when you get the error
message?
If so then try saving the file using different settings (such as "Video for
pocket PC") and see if that works.

I am not sure of the significance of the first part of your post about
saving a WMV unless you are saying that you only have this problem AFTER
saving a movie and starting a new project.

What sort of avi file is it? dv-avi is the one that works, things like
divx/xvid don't.
