Re: windows me developers?
Plus on the subject of Windoze ME.. Have you had any problems with using quicktime movies in player objects did you find a way around it? I have a project which shows a qt 4 movie with sorenson compressed video mp3 compressed audio that just won't work with metacard on ME.. works fine on 98, 2000 Mac, it even works in the normal qt player but not from a normal CDROM based metacard app. I had a similar problem with one of my clients using both Windows ME and 2000. Graphics card device drivers are notoriously bad and variable. On two Win 98SE laptops (one with an ATI RAGE Mobility-P AGP graphics chipset and the other with an ATI RAGE LT Pro PCI chipset), I can leave acceleration on full and QT set to it's full speed default as well. On a Windows NT 4 SP5 system, likewise, there were no problems. On another Win 98SE laptop, I had to switch both the graphics card and QT to lowest speed, most compatible mode to get it to work. The key difference in all cases is the model of graphics card and version of device driver software for that card. There are similar horror stories relating to printers and their device drivers! If you select the Video Settings in the QuickTime control panel and switch to Safe Mode (GDI Only), this might well sort out the problem. If this doesn't work, you could try Advanced settings for your display properties. This varies considerably between the different graphics cards, but almost always has a Performance tab. Here you can try different levels of acceleration, though it might need None to work fully.

Re: windows me developers?
Alex, I was just looking at this the other day... Basically when you ask for a version of Windows, you are not getting the public name of Windows (Windows 95, Windows ME, etc.), you're getting the actual version number of the operating system (which can tell you a lot about where it came from). Here's a list I've built so far: Windows 95 = Windows 4.0 Windows 98 = Windows 4.1 Windows ME = Windows 4.90 Windows NT 4 = NT 4.0 Windows 2000 = NT 5.0 As you can see, Windows ME is built on the Windows 9x source code base, which is why it is still Windows 4.x. Both NT4 and 2000 are built on the NT code base, which is why you get those different values. Sorry, can't help with the QuickTime questions... anyone else?

Re: windows me developers?
Alex, Sorry, my table was slightly wrong - Windows 98 is Windows 4.10 not Windows 4.1. Here's the complete table: Windows 95 = Windows 4.0 Windows 98 = Windows 4.10 Windows ME = Windows 4.90 Windows NT 4 = NT 4.0 Windows 2000 = NT 5.0 Sorry about that...
