holy ****. you guys are geniouses. i can't even believe that worked. what did launching garage band have to do with it anyways? thanks so much, it was driving me insane.
however, i'm also having a problems with the sound on quicktime movies. for some reason when i play mpeg files where there once was sound there is no sound any longer and the video stops a few seconds in and i have to hit pause, then play again every few seconds to make the video continue running. any answers?
thanks for all the help.
