unfortunately i have also been having trouble with my computer and i am worried one of the hdd is corrupted/failing. i rendered a few of the videos and it seemed as though everything worked out okay but when i went to check them my computer started to hang up on me. i am really running on a less than ideal system anyway. i just dont have the cash to get anything better. i will be backing up all of the project files to an external drive so i don't lose anything tonight and hopefully get the first batch of finished videos to you then HAL
