I agree it is very nice but on my system, at least, it suffers from too many 
crashes.

Has anyone else seen these problems:
1. With some software (e.g. FrameMaker) selecting a word and using QuickShelf
to access the dictionary causes a crash (general protection fault).

2. Playing an animation causes a GPF when the animation ends (no such problem
when the animations are played from the Media Player).


The cause may be too many slightly incompatible versions of the various 
multi-media DLLs - these seem to get changed every time a new CD gets
installed!

Any ideas?
