May the Gods bless you forever. Amen.

I’m currently in the process of ‘upgrading’ from this un-trustworthy Vista back to XP.
(Same amount of problems really, but at least I don’t have to re-learn a blasted new OS)

Anywoo,
I will be running the ‘fix’ afterwards.

Thanks bunch.

There has just been so many problems, I dread turning the program (CS3) on at all.
In fact, I haven’t used the damn thing since last November. . .
*sigh*

But, it is a big part of my chosen profession and it costs too much to throw out and try something else.
Boo to either Vista or Adobe or both.

And it is a fantastic thing to hear from people who understand that. 😉

Instead of a link to the 184 page ‘Help/Instructions’ page.

Thanks again

Hi. Thanks for letting me know. Sometimes knowing you’re not alone with a problem helps more than advice.
(at least for me, anyway)

Yes, I figured that out and all seemed to got well (although annoying as you mentioned).

But, when it came down to exporting it, it would crash again.

Now I’ve decided if it doesn’t render in one full shot, there’s got to be something wrong . . .

What I’ve done is delete all the Titles I used as templates and made what I wanted via Fireworks as .gif

It rendered fine. Straight through. I’m attempting to export it to Encore . . . If you don’t hear from me in 20 minutes swearing and cursing, you know it worked.

I’ll give that a go as well.
Right now I’ve had the thought the ‘title’ templates are the problem, so I’ve deleted all traces of them and just made .gif images (which worked fine for me on other projects) right out of Fireworks (of all things . . )

If you don’t hear back from me.
It’s worked. (knock on wood)

Thanks again,
Brad

And thank you both.
That will help me take another run at my project here.

a-ha!
Comes the dawn!

Thank you, good sir.
This gives me the energy to keep going at this.
(not that I have much else of an option . . .) 😉

Thank you again,

Very helpful.
Thank you.

I will follow all your advice.
It makes sense as I see my first disk quickly filling up everytime I run back into the office with a loaded HD tape. 😉

Thank you for the explanation.
I see.

I did a quick read through on Wikipedia about the RAID system.

At this stage I wouldn’t know where to begin 😛

But, thanks to your answer, I understand how a computer works a bit more. And it makes sense to me.

In the mean time, I’m stripping my project down to the bare footage and will try to rebuild it. . . *sigh*

Hi,
Thank you very much for the response.

I do actually have another disk installed that I haven’t used yet.

I’m gathering I keep the CS3 suite on Disk C:/ and put all my footage and projects on D:/ (??)

May I ask (as I’m pretty much at the beginner level) how that improves the performance?

Thanks.
