Quick Time for Windows Has Problems with S3 Video Chip Set
This article was previously published under Q126565
If you install Quick Time version 1.1 or 2.0 for Windows in Windows,
you may experience any of the following problems when you try to play an
.MOV (video) file:
- A white line appears across the center of the screen.
- Two mouse pointers appear. The second pointer is stationary.
- Video scenes do not play correctly or do not appear at all.
- When you are playing a video scene, the display is corrupted when
you move the mouse pointer over the video scene.
When you run the Quick Time for Windows (QTW) Setup program, QTW detects
the video hardware and tries to program the hardware directly. If you are
using a video adapter that uses the S3 chip set, the symptoms listed above
can occur.
Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the QTW.INI file in the
Windows directory. Add the following line to the [Video] section of the
file:
If the file has no [Video] section, add the section and the line listed
above. The section should look like the following example:
Save the QTW.INI file and then close it.
Several games currently on the market use QTW to play video sequences
during game play. The symptoms listed above can also occur in these games.
The game "Myst," by Broderbund Software, Inc., is one example of a game
that uses QTW and will experience problems with the S3 chip set.
