Adobe Premiere horking on rendering a vid -- help!

[tanacawyr.livejournal.com]

Greetings and salutations -- hope someone can help me, here. I'm at my wit's end. I'm in mid-vid right now, and Premiere "encounters a problem" and hangs every time it tries to render the entire thing. It's been occasionally spotty in the past, but now it simply cannot get to the end of the vid, and I'm ready to throw my computer out the window.

Does anyone know of a way for me to work around this that doesn't involve using other vidding software? Is there a way for me to render it piecemeal and then use VirtualDub or something like that to stitch the bits together? Will this cause a bobble or hiccup in the music or video?

I'm really at my wit's end. ANY help or suggestions that don't involve me having to stop using Premiere would be greatly appreciated.
