I had it working for a while on XP but then it would crash during the
tutorials and the computer would not work correctly until I rebooted. I
think the problem is with Quicktime 3.x. It did not seem to install it
correctly as it reported that it was not installed. I installed QT 7.x and
the tutorials would run for a while then crash. I then tried an install on
a computer that has Win98. For some reason I got the same error message
that QT 3.x was not installed. QT shows in the START menu but will not run
as a standalone either. Perhaps my CD is defective!?? Any suggestions?
