Technical Q&A QTW06
Edit QTW.INI file for Special Configurations

Q The demo programs on the final QuickTime for Windows CD won't run without locking up, because the QTInitialize function doesn't return. Any ideas?

A The final QuickTime for Windows exhibits the behavior you describe when the display board is configured in a way that QuickTime for Windows doesn't recognize. XGA and SuperVGA are modes that could cause this problem. To check whether this is the problem, edit the QTW.INI file to include the following:
    [Video]
    Optimize = driver

The default is Hardware. This could be causing the problem you describe.
