Call for Media Viewer Test: Windows Users Especially

I would kind request anyone who has time to test the following.

go stack decompress(URL 
"http://www.hinduismtoday.com/digital/htde_media-player.rev.gz")

It is a small "Media Viewer" that streams on-line video and sound via 
Quicktime.

I have the players set to SMIL files, but we are getting reports  from some
Windows  users that this stack is crashing the standalone  completely.
Some horrible Window message that the our application has to be closed
and there is this ugly message from Microsoft  saying:

"The error was caused  by Quicktime player. the Software was created by  
Apple  inc."

There is an auto start the starts one player after 2 secs

The previous version for this stack was  working fine.

So I'm looking at possible  culprit being my "innovative" attempt to do 
a SMIL
slide show behind audio file playing on top of a series of  seq's that 
call a remote  slide
every 1minute10secs.  Possibly QT on Windows is incapable of handling this.
So I may have shot myself in the foot expecting MS to be able to do what 
Apple can do....

Send reports to me off list.

Thanks!
