We've had a few other Windows-based : CD-ROM titles perform well for us (though Multimedia Beethoven did give us : some trouble now and then, but that's neither here nor there). It's actually a problem with Quicktime for Windows. I've had several problems using Journeyman Project on my computer. I also bought A Hard Day's Night which also uses Quicktime for Windows. In the manual, it mentions that QTW has a lot of bugs and that the simptoms that you've mentioned are what you will experience. I ended up having to reinstall Windows into a different directory (A clean copy w/o any extra drivers) to get it to work the best. What is the latest version of QTW? Anybody know? The version of QTW that comes with both of these programs is v1.0. - Albert
