SYMPTOMS
When you try to use QuickTime version 2.x or 3.0 to view a movie file on a
monitor other than your primary monitor, the movie may not play correctly,
it may not play at all, or your computer may stop responding (hang).
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, do not run QuickTime on a monitor other than
your primary monitor, and edit the Optimize= line in the Qtw.ini file to
read "Optimize=BMP" (without quotation marks). To do so, use any text
editor (such as Notepad) to edit the Qtw.ini file, edit the Optimize=
line to read "Optimize=BMP" (without quotation marks), save the file, and
then restart your computer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this behavior is not caused by a problem
in Windows 98, but may be caused by design changes in Windows 98. For
more information about resolving this issue, contact the program's
manufacturer.
