Yes Iam using QT3 and OS8.

My only problems are, and I do not think they are related -

1	Quick time3 will not read most avi files ( I thought it was able to)- I
get *required compressor not found* and a white viewing area although the
sound file works.

2	My Syquest driver (EZ135) will no longer mount. The silverlining lite
(version 2.2) control panel can be configured to scan, unmount and then
mount BUT after it appears on the desktop any application I try to open
immediately causes a freeze. Everytime.

Sorry if all this is not relevant
