" We've now reproduced the issue and have filed a bug with Apple on it. It does seem to be uniquely tied to movie playback, so setting aside the Cinematic files (.AVI's) so the game can't play them is one workaround. "

(FYI: On March 12th Intuit released a patch for Turbotax 2006 to fix the QT 7.1.5 issue.)

" No word on a Turbo Tax workaround, however...
Inspired by your AoE 3 workaround (in yesterday's news), I decided to dig into the package contents of the Full Tilt Poker client. (command click on app, then 'show package contents')
If you move all of the files out of Contents / Resources / Waves (see below - only "connect.avi" needs removing), the client launches. You won't have sound, and I don't know if there are any other issues, but I was able to sit at a table and play.
I'm going to post this on the Full Tilt forums as well as sending it to the tech support people at Full Tilt -- maybe it will help them debug.
(he later wrote)
As a followup to my earlier e-mail; I posted this workaround on the Full Tilt forums and someone came back with an even better solution. The only file that needs to be removed from Contents / Resources / Waves is "connect.avi" Leaving the wave files and moving only the .avi file seems to allow everything to work.
Still hoping Apple gets on the ball soon on this one...

If you missed it, yesterday's news had a workaround for Age of Empires III with QT 7.1.5/10.3.9

"Mike, AMUG has posted a review of the ICY DOCK Hot Swap 4 Bay eSATA enclosure model MB561S-4S. The enclosure provides a great visual design, a strong SATA hard drive mounting system, activity lights, hot swap capability and a good cooling system. The only drawback with the ICY DOCK MB561S-4S is the noise level created by the power supply fan. The review compares the performance of the ICY DOCK MB561S-4S against the WiebeTech SilverSATA IV, Sonnet Fusion 400 and the FirmTek SeriTek/2eEN4.
Have a great weekend,
Michael Bean
