===================================
If you save the project as a movie (.wmv or .avi)
does it play successfully in Windows Media Player?

Maybe you have a problem with file compatibility:

I had the same problem with my old p4 1.6gz computer. I built a e6600 core
2 duo system and it is smooth now. it takes a lot of processor and computer
to run the play back

====================================
Could be resource issues and might even be an
issue with your video adapter.

If you reduce your Graphics Hardware Acceleration
as per the instructions in the following article and
realize an improvement, it's an indication that you
need to update your video driver:

I don't know either...all I can do is guess.

Have you tried playing the movie on a
different machine?

I'm thinking it comes back to resource
issues. Maybe you need more RAM.

And maybe it would help to increase
the size of your virtual memory paging
file. The following article explains how:
