I have run quicktime since 4 and I am in 6 now and never had a problem at 
all. So its not quicktime but  something to do with your h/w most likely.

Codeweaver is not buggy with most users I have encountered and I have 
installed it on at laest 6 machine without any problems. Mind you the 
machines have all been Athlon/Duron minimum 800mhz 265M memory.
I run vmware and codeweavers plugin and office if nothing else, to demo, to 
sceptic users that linix can do anything.
