Matt, I've been having the worst time in years at my PC trying to get
Quicktime movies running. You know about the problem I had with the
Apple version. I tried Eview.exe from the EDRIVE forum (see my
message to Tim Hitchings; it runs but won't recognize movies as
movies, saying "Unable to run movie– most QT videos end in .mov" –
of course the files I was trying DID end in .mov) with no luck. Maybe
because I had to manually expand the files after SETUP failed to
run? Then I tried VIDVUE, the new version that supposedly handles
QT, and when I got it unzipped and tried to run SETUP, it asked me if
I was registered or shareware, to which directory to install the
files, and when I told it and clicked "continue" it said "setup
failed- Illegal function call– Run Setup at a later time". As you
say, Y I K E S ! ! ! What's going on??? I am a reasonably adept
user, got Mosaic, Netscape and Cello running on my 486-box including
all of the MPEG and JPEG and WAV accessories, but darn it, Quicktime
has defeated me. Any ideas?
Best regards,
Leon Malinofsky
