This is the problem - thanks. My application, while not a QuickTime app, is
heavily dependant on the Component manager (because of the OSA calls it
makes) and moving the DivX component out of the /Library/QuickTime folder
corrects the problem.

I don't suppose there is anything I can to to work around this in Cocoa is
there?

Cheers
