By "render" do you mean render a preview that you can watch or do you mean render a video for output? They are two different processes.
What are you doing to start the render and what is happening when you do it?

ok so when i start up the program i insert the file i want to use and then i highlight all of them so they can play smoothly and i can edit fast and easy but the problem is that if i start to edit once i have put my files in the program and i try to play them (preview) they start to lag and once i press to render them so they can be smooth it doesnt render and just starts to preview all the files and lags

What are your computer specs?
Please use the free MediaInfo and post a screenshot the properties of your media in tree view:

I'm with Bob. Seeing the MediaInfo report on your source video would be very enlightening. Also, it would help to know what processor you have with how much RAM.
Do you see a yellow-orange "render" line above your clips as you add them to the timeline? If you don't see a render line, there's nothing to render.
Or are you saying that you see the render line, press Enter/Return to render and the program won't replace that render line with a green line?
