QuickTime failed to initialize / black screens

 

Apple's QuickTime Player is required to play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 3rd Edition. If the game doesn't find it on your system, you'll receive this error message.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't go downloading QuickTime off of the Apple site, though -- the game will launch but graphics will not display correctly. You'll get a series of black screens with weird scrolling lines.

 

Recent editions of QuickTime don't seem to be compatible with this game. If you already have QuickTime on your system, you'll have to uninstall it and replace it with an older version to be able to play.

 

OldVersion.com has many prior versions of QuickTime available.

 

The "newest" QuickTime I could find that works with this game is 6.52, released October 27th, 2004.
