I have been working on a movie for over a week. I am finding that things are acting funny, transitations are not working properly, the music I added plays at different locations from where I placed the clip,
during preview the pictures freeze off and on, the music would go off and on, what is going on? Is it my computer my computer says it has 16 GB availbale?
I feel I am wasting my time, with this program.............
problems with playback/preview

First off, not knowing what format you are editing, one thing is certain that Previewing within VS is always going to be less then perfect. It has to compile everything that you have done "on-the-fly". This is very demanding on even the current PCs. So the preview more then likely is going to be jerky.
Next with only 16 gig free space, you are running very dangerously close to not having enough space for VS to work with. For example if you captured 1 hr of DV (avi) that needs 13 gig of space just for the video clip. Now VS needs at least 13 gig for temp files created while you are editing, then again when you go to burn a disc.
Not knowing what your system specs are, your PC may not have enough umph to work smoothly while editing video. Several of us have more then one hard drive. The secondary HDDs are where we set the working folders for VS. That way it is not putting additional stress on a single HDD to read and write while editing. While 1 drive is handling the OS and VS, the second drive gets written to for the Temp files.
Having background applications running, such as anti-virus, internet connections, instant messenging programs take a lot of valuable computer resources that VS needs. Shut down anything that is not absolutely necessary while editing.
