Some parts not playing- please help!

[Guest]

Hi. I would really appreciate someone helping me with this because i'm about
to lose my mind! I've been trying to make this video using mostly wmv files&
MPG files. Now i've made videos using WMM a MILLION times & never did I have
this problem. I'd put some clips on there, and then when I would go to watch
it back, either the sound won't play or it will freeze on one shot of the
video, but the line would keep moving like its playing. Its really driving me
insane & I was wondering if anyone knew what the problem was & how to fix it.
Thank you so much.

=================================
Quite possibly the .mpg files are the problem.
Have a look at the following article:

Also. you may need to do some maintenance
if you haven't doen it recently:

Running Disk Cleanup, Error Checking and
Defrag on a regular schedule is a good idea.

(check the two boxes..."Automatically fix file
system errors" and "Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors") the utility will run
the next time you restart your computer.
(run error checking repeatedly until it finds
no errors)
