Ah see I didn't know about the whole mac thing. Well, just to be sure, I tried it out on my mac with IE and it works just fine. So there is hope for you.

To answer your question, "Am I the only one with this problem?" -- Probably not. If I've learned one thing in my years working on this website, it's this: Where there's one person with a problem, there are sure to be more. That's why I like to work with people to solve their problems... once I have a solution, I can give it to anybody else with the same problem.

On the other hand, I doubt it's very widespread, or I'd be hearing more about it. Because I can see it on my mac, I know it's not a problem for all mac users across the board. The evidence suggests that you're probably part of a very small minority. I know that's not very reassuring for you, but look at it this way: At least you know that there is a solution somehow... we just haven't found it yet. And in the meantime, Netscape is as good a temporary solution as any.

I must admit that although I do own a mac, I don't know much about it. My expertise is with the windows environment. I'll keep trying to look for a solution, but you being the one with the problem are in a much better position to experiment with options and possible solutions.

Keep trying.

Sincerely,
Jonathan

I tried again with Netscape Navigator 4.08 and it works fine. So the issue may be with IE. I downloaded and reinstalled the IE software again a couple of weeks ago so I presume it's the most recent. Still not good.

There is a known issue with Quicktime and IE, which affects only QT movies which are embedded in web pages. The folks over at apple have created a patch, so if you haven't been over there to download the latest version in the last few weeks or so, I suggest doing that. As time goes on, more and more websites will be embedding their video, including us.

I just spent the last week trying to save our network from the nimda virus. It completely ruined my main hard drive, so I'm lucky we still have any variations at all. Anyway, I had to get a new hard drive and install windows from scratch. Since then I have downloaded and installed the latest IE, Netscape, QT and RealPlayer, and it all works fine with the variation. If you're up-to-date on everything, you should not have any troubles.

I'll send you the cha cha variation this one time if you give me your email address.
