A. The Compass CD-ROM was developed before QuickTime 7 was released, and there are some incompatibilities which can be fixed as follows: • If it is open, close the OALD7 Compass application. • Download the no_QT_patch_OALD7.zip patch file • Unzip plugins_QT7_win.zip and run the enclosed file no_QT_patch_OALD7.exe • Sound should now be working whichever version of QuickTime you have installed – if you have any further problems or queries, please email the helpdesk.
