If it "AIN'T" one thing its "ANOTHER"!

Okay, so first of all I'm getting REAL EXCITED about this next season of GHOST because of all the hiccups we're experiencing. We already cancelled the March 14 release . . . don't remember having these many problems when we did the first season and didn't have a clue of what we were doing (smh-lol).

I posted earlier about the lagging and that I was having to save my scenes and continuously restart Moviestorm every 10 min or so.

So after one great scene was completely MS crashed. I thought this is no problem because I had already saved my work several times. However when I attempted to reload my work MS said "file not found". (of course after several attempts to reload the file and enough curse words to make a pirate blush) I search the forum to see if anyone else had to deal with "saved" files suddenly disappearing. I found that Lucinda has started such a topic and followed the advice of changing the name of the bak file. And it WORKED!!!(HOORAY)

Only problem now is MS refuses to render the scene. I've tried all types of things including saving the scene under a different name, and deleting props (hoping MS would see it as a brand new scene); but it still will not render the scene. So any advice would be highly appreciate . . . thanks in advance.

I'm quite interested in seeing the log.txt from after you try to render, and it doesnt.
This is created in the Moviestorm user folder. It is emptied each time you start Moviestorm, so please reproduce the problem first. It's in:
Vista, Win7, Macs: Users/[Username]/Moviestorm
WinXP: C:/Documents and Settings/[Username]/Moviestorm


One extra tip for avoiding a memory leak that we have recently found:
In your 'Movies' folder, move most of the Movies that you are not currently working on into another folder; you can still load them from the load movie screen using the browse button.
This helps, because every movie in your Movies folder is loading up it's image when you go to the Load Movie screen, and taking about 700k of memory that is never released; this can be a big chunk of your available heap space if you have a lot of saved movies.
This will be fixed for the next release, but in the mean time, the workaround might well help matters.
