Hi!

Please forgive me, if this is OFF-topic - I am not so familiar with
these international groups.

My system:

Windows 3.11 on a 486 DX 2/66, 8Mb, 6xCD, Soundblaster Pro

My problem:

I`ve just installed an application that uses Quicktime Video (it is
the Star Trek Omnipedia CD-ROM by Simon and Shuster). The included
version of Quicktime is 2.0.2.44. If I install this one, the movies
are more than poor: Slideshows (about 1/2 fps) with interrupted sound.
With my older Version of Quicktime wich is V. 2.00.0032 thze movies
were excellent, even in double size mode.
I tried to reinstall the older Quicktime, but this leads to system
crashes after using the videos in the Omnipedia: The whole system is
halted or little pieces of sound are repeated endlessly. The "sound
problem" is mentioned in a readme wich came with the Omnipedia. They
say it is a problem located in the sound driver for the Soundblaser
pro... and why didn`t the problem appear with any other software???

So please!!! If you have any idea how to solve this, or if you perhaps
have the same software and had the same problems, please answer!

As I mentioned I am not so familiar with these international
newsgroups, and so I`ve set the follow up to my e-mail adress! 


Greetings from cold and windy germany!
