Ok, I have tried all the things John said, although I have a few questions
about that first..
When I change the virtual memory paging file, what setting would you
recommend? The highest possible size on both initial and max size?
When you say "close all running programs", what I understand that to mean is
click cont. + Alt + del and close them. However, what I have always been
told, when closing like this, is to only close the programs under my
username. Should I also close under the "system" and "network system"
usernames? I cannot close explorer, right? It has probably the most memory
usage.
I have tried defragging and everything else, although I only did the error
check once. My movie is about 30 min long and is all of still photos. Many
of them are scanned at 300dpi. I read that John said to change the dpi size.
Is there a way to do that w/o rescanning? (There are a lot of photos!)
And finally, he said to do it in photo story then transfer it to mm2. I can
do that, but I want to add text to the photos while they zoom, which photo
story cannot do. (The photo stands still when you add text) So I could do
that in MM, but when I try to save it, wouldn't it lock up again? Meaning,
stop saving 3-quarters of the way through. Oh, I guess I didn't mention my
problem (I did in an earlier post). When I go to watch the movie after it is
saved onto my desktop, it locks up in the middle of the movie. Should I save
it in a different way other than what the saving wizard recommends? (save to
computer) I am trying to make a dvd for my husbands 20th class reunion to be
viewed that night. Kind of a "then and now" thing. They are going to pay me
$150 for this and now I am worried that I won't even be able to produce the
product!!! I have never had this trouble before, but I have never made the
entire movie in MM. It is usually in photo story and sometimes then
transferred to MM to add opening titles and credits at the end. I am sorry
this is so long, but I am completely miffed! Thanks for any help!
