@ren_mem- My QT player indicated an 8971 error code. No crash involved, but the "brokenQT" graphic showed when I tried to playback the file. Normally I have no probs with QT files and I've had some success with using QT codecs for video work; of course that was on a higher spec machine that has Premiere Pro on it.

@bwtr- No arguments there. My desktop animation machine runs WinXP Pro and I've never experienced the dreaded "Blue-Screen of Death" with it, unlike with Windows98.  I almost never connect that one to the net, which helps keep it running smoothly.
