Thanks for all the suggestions. It seems that QT7 is the *only*
version which runs with Tiger, and it doesn't work! There is no
opportunity to reinstall a newer version. So much for the famous
Apple software quality and backward compatibility.
I haven't been ale to track down a QT 6 player app yet. I might try
to install an older version under Classic, and see if that works.
Cheers
Rob
Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?
I have a bunch of QTVR movies that I occasionally demonstrate to
people. With my new system install, I now have QT 7.0. My QTVRs do
not display in QT 7.0. The display window is present, but it is
completely transparent. I can't reinstall QT6.5, because the
installer recognises that I have a newer version installed.
I wish I hadn't had my machine rebuilt!

G'day Rob,
My old QTVRs from 2000 and earlier are all working under QT 7. Any QTVRs in
particular?
Have you tried running the old Quicktime 6 player application? You can do
that even with QT 7 installed if you run the old QT 6 Player off a different
volume I have read. Haven't tried it yet myself though.
I haven't tried the QT 6 reinstaller either.
Hi Rob,
Below is an email from Apple's QTVR discussion list. Apparently there are
lots of problems with QT 7.0 and QTVR, and the QT 7.0.1 upgrade doesn't fix
them.
Don't know if this link will help you:

There are reinstallers other than this one on Apple's website.
Cheers,
Mike

I have been following the recent QT7 complaint threads on this list,
and it's been a bit messy. To better present our complaints to the QT
engineers, it would be helpful if someone (or multiple someones) could
succinctly sum up the exact issues we have with QTVR in QT7, that
should be raised by those attending the WWDC session.
Thanks, and hope I can help :)

Here is a rough list along with the place i came across the info:
Patrick Cheatham - QTVR MIAM interactivity non-existant until focus
removed from QT player and refocus - Bug ID# 4104099
Ian Wood - object movie interaction is lost until the movie is 100%
downloaded, both in browsers and in QT Player. In addition, in Safari
1.3 on 10.3.9 you don't even get the first frame and the status bar
goes blank giving you a blank space on the page and no indication that
there is something downloading.
Francis Gorge Rik Workman - exit/enter fullscreen and close window
not working for VRs
1. CloseThisWindow, EnterFullScreen, ExitFullScreen don't work. I think
these all use SendAppMessage under the covers, so it's probably just
one bug.
2. Our sound volume controller no longer works - it uses SetVolumeTo.
Several people - qtl's not working
Several people - flash/sprite buttons not working in MIAMs
Rik's list -
1. ( Bug ID# 4106665) A child movie whose audio is slaved to it's
parent doesn't change volume in response to parent's volume control. (I
referred to this in an earlier post as an issue with the SetVolumeTo
action, which was incorrect.)
2. (Bug ID# 4108263) Using the SendAppMessage wired action in a VR
controller movie to close a window or Enter/Exit Full Screen no longer
works in QT7. As best I can tell, this is the same problem Francis
Gorge described in an earlier post regarding closethiswindow. Although
you'd probably only use this with skinned movies, it doesn't require a
skin track to make it fail; just a VR.
3. (Bug ID# 4108248.) The ability to write to a text track in an
external movie when using the VR controller does not work. Removing the
VR tracks fixes the problem.
4. (Bug ID# 4108276) The VR cursor while the mouse is down is unchanged
from when the mouse button was depressed. Specifically, no arrow
cursors indicating motion and no hotspot cursors appear when motion
takes the cursor over hotspots.
5. (Bug ID# 4108269) Unable to change Controller type in VR movies in
QT7 Pro. It's necessary to change the movie controller for VR movies to
enable many of the track editing operations. This was useful in
previous versions of QT Pro for adding functionality to VR's, e.g.,
sound tracks.
6. (Bug ID# 4108272) Unlike previous versions of QT, the non-Pro
version of QT7 doesn't allow a wired action to cause the host movie to
be displayed fullscreen. This functionality is enabled in QT7 Pro.
Patrick -
1) (Bug ID# 4104099) When loading a Movie URL directly in QT Player
v.7.0
