Hi
Maybe I'm being dense, but what would instant hijack, or AHP in general for that matter, have to do with Voiceover getting stuck in Mail? No, instant hijack is not necessary for AHP to work, but without it you need to do the following: Start AHP, select quicktime player, and tell it to hijack. Allow AHP to start quicktime player for you, do not start it yourself. Then open the file you wish to play in quicktime player, and from here the procedure is the same as it otherwise would be. Without instant hijack, you must allow AHP to start the application you intend to hijack.

Hi, Jacob, no, I hadn't installed any extras with audio highjack pro,
maybe I'll do that, but regarding my problem with mail getting stuck on links, the people at rogue amoeba seemed to think that instant highjack was causing the problem, and that instant highjack wasn't necessary for
audio highjack pro to work, but I'll see about installing it, and see
what happens.

Hi
Did you install the instant hijack plugin? It sounds to me like AHP is

closing and relaunching quicktime player in order to hijack it, which
will happen unless you install the rquired plugin. Alternatively,
launch AHP first and tell it to hijack QT player, so it is launched by

AHP. Then open the file you wish to record. I'd recommend the instant
hijack plugin, however.

Hi all, I'm having a problem with quick time, and that is this, after
flip for mac has imported a .wmv file, and the quick time player
window
shows up, when I launch audio highjack, and start highjacking, and go
back to the quick time window, there is a different window, that is
the
same window that launches when you launch quick time player, when you
aren't playing a file, and this window does not have the usual
controls
in the window like grow, play, go to beginning, etcetera, instead, it
has a zoom button which is dimmed, a minimize button, and a close
button, but if I close the window with command w, both quick time
windows close, and I don't know how to open the main window back up
again, plus, you can't press space to play a file, when this apple
quick time window is visible, and I have noticed, that, when quick
time
finally launches, after the .wmv file is finished importing, I hear
voice over say, quick time player has a new window, but I can't find
it
with command grave accent, so, how do I get this little quick time
apple window not to open up, so I can work with the controls in the
main window that are blocked when this window is visible, plus, when
this window is visible, I can't go to the main window of quick time
player.  I can tell quick time to play movies automatically, in
general
preferences, but the problem is, when I do that, and quick time player
launches, that window then becomes visible, that says apple quick
time,
and if I command grave accent to it, the file in question stops, so
how
does one stop the apple quick time window from coming up, when quick
time player should be a part of the operating system, and I shouldn't
be nagged to purchase quick time pro?  These are .wmv files I have
burned to cd, and I don't know of any other way to deal with these
files, and I had promised somebody I'd send them the mp3's of these
.wmv files, so if there are any quick time experts out there, please
help, and thanks very much in advance.
