    Workaround: Use the Full install option.

    Platform: Mac
    Issue: The default amount of memory allocated to a web browser on a Macintosh is often not enough to view streaming movies using the QuickTime 4 plug-in, and can sometimes result in system unresponsiveness.
    Workaround: If you want to watch streaming movies in your web browser program, you should increase the amount of memory allocated to it.

    Platform: Mac
    Issue: Using a Startup Movie that uses the Sorenson codec will cause an unimplemented trap error at startup.
    Workaround: Do not use a Startup Movie, or use one that does not use the Sorenson codec.

    Platform: Windows
    Issue: If "Show window contents while dragging" is enabled, users might experience redraw anomalies while dragging a window over a QuickTime movie playing in the background.
