saving to my computer trouble

HELP - I created a movie with about 350 pictures and music. Once I try to
save as a movie to my computer it says it has a source file problem. I
checked all sources and they seem to be ok. It doesn't tell me the file is
too large, but could that be the problem? I tried to take it elsewhere on a
newer faster computer, but when I save the project to my thumb drive and
transport to another computer, I lose all photos. This video is for my mom's
birthday on Oct 5th and I am struggling with solutions at this point.
HELP!!!???

=======================================
First...the .mswmm project file does not include the
source files so you definitely would not be able to
continue the project on a different computer unless
you imported the source files also.

As for saving...have a look at the following article.

thanks for a quick response!
ok- the article seemed helpful - and the last time I tried to save I did get
a message that read: "System Low on Virtual Memory - Windows is increasing
the size of your virtual memory paging file". I decided to try the
recommended increase myself or to at least go look at what the file amount
says by following these directions:
"and/or change your virtual memory setting via: Start > Control Panel >
Performance and Maintenance > System > Advanced tab > Performance Settings >
Advanced tab > Virtual memory - Change."

BUT - am I retarted, I cannot find anything in my control panel that
addresses Performance and Maintenance! When I search it I get nothing?

Is it possible that my system updated it for what was needed and maybe I
just need to re-boot?

UGGHHH - Please help!
 
I also have a question about the amount of Processes my Task Manager shows.
It seems like a lot but I don't want to stop the ones needed. I currently
have like 50 processes running and I have seen this # higher. I don't know
what these are, so I am computer illiterate as to what should be running in
that box?

50 sounds about right.

If you want to know what the various
processes are you can find them in
a list at the following site:
