I just found a nice laptop to run my easy show program... Acer Turion64 with 2 gig ram VISTA 512 v ram...and thanks for the advice on this...

I've got the Easyshow timelines populated with audio and video, but occasionally easy show crashes giving me this message....

Microsoft Visual C++Runtime Library
Runtime Error
Program: C:\SL2006\EasyShow.exe

abnormal program termination

I havent done much to the computer... but will strip off some of the junk software as soon as I get used to the VISTA look..

Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?

Thanks everyone for the help.
