Thanks for your advice, the issue (from what I saw while the QT
developer was working) was more along the lines of having told
the wrong movie to stop playing. *smirk*
However right now my problem is that NS 6.2 shows the site
beautifully, as long as you don't click in the navbar like a
madman. In other words, if you click on a nav and then click on
another nav before it gets a chance to load, BAM error on the
PC.
EVEN WORSE, in NS 6.1, EVERYTHING goes to hell.
*lament* I'm looking for posted bugs right now, and finding
nothing.

PS the reason you can't locate the quicktime is because nearly
the entire page is quicktime. :)
