Scenes going black/caution sign in Windows Movie Maker during edits

Hey, Does anyone else experience random scenes going black in windows movie maker during heavy editing? My most recent video is 50 seconds but it took me three hours to make because I was trying to sync it to music and I couldn't tell if I had synced it correctly much of the time. I am assuming its just due to high memory usage because if I let the program sit for a couple minutes I would get the scene back at least once and be able to guess where to make the cut. It was annoying how time consuming it was and also that I couldn't get it exactly the way I wanted just because of this issue.

Additionally, as I was trying to finish up with two minor edits, ALL THE CLIPS suddenly turned black and had caution signs on them with "!". I kept reverting back to an older saved version and even with new, different edits, it kept happening, so finally I just decided to go with the saved version. Can WMM only take so much abuse??

I have adobe software that I haven't started learning yet... i'm concerned that if its just my computer not being able to keep up with WMM then I will never be able to use more awesome software... I have 2 gigs of ram. I am just wondering if all of this is to be expected or not and if there is anything I can do besides getting a more powerful computer? Thanks everyone.
 
...or do what bad kitty did...This is the internet after all...EVERYTHING is free XD mew mew mew
 
I feel like such a law abiding noob !!!!!!!!!

Not really though... I just have to stop being lazy about learning more awesome softwares I guess

Yeah there is a huge difference between movie maker and software like sony vegas or adobe premiere. I started off with movie maker too but once you switch to a real program you will be wondering why you didn't do it sooner.
 
Try sony vegas or camtasia... sony is the best hands down, but if you want alittle more flare then WMM, try camtasia... ( you can find free verisons everywhere on the net... I am such a bad bad kitty! )
 
Naaw guys say it wrong, it's "buy it on the torrent marketplace, where every day is discount day!" :D
Well seriously, learning/demo versions are good to get a hold of it to see if you can use something advanced, like Vegas and then you can decide if you want to get an alternative for for free or buy it... or just go and buy it there ^^^.
 
I'm sure if a mod forund this post, you'd get your balls busted for promoting the idea to torrent it.

1st rule of torrents: You don't speak of torrents.
