I just installed it on my XP machine and the tutoriasl seem to crash. This maybe be due to the fact that I have Quicktime 7.x installed instead of the 3.x from the kit. So far other things seem to be working but I have just started. I thought this (...) (19 years ago, 13-Aug-06, to lugnet.robotics)
