When you start up MC, before you do anything QuickTime-related (such as
displaying a player), set the dontUseQT to false. Then try the problematic
effects again.

If they work as expected without QT enabled, the problem is probably that
2.4 uses QuickTime for several of the formerly built-in visual effects, and
the QT effects are more CPU-intensive (and don't work well, in my
experience, on slower machines).
