Hi,

This probably has been noticed in QuickTime Player when the DivX
codec is installed, for example, because the DivX coded called
HiliteMenu from its component initializer, which was run (via
EnterMovies) before QTPlayer called [NSApplication run].

It's possible that your app is hitting the same problem with DivX, if
the problem is only seen on certain machines. The general solution is
to avoid calling into the Menu Manager, or calling anything that
could call into the Menu Manager, before starting up NSApplication.

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?

No, but it isn't your problem to work around. It's a bug in the DivX component
which I believe has been fixed in newer versions.
