This is really reminiscent of something else I seem to recall reading
about a year ago regarding Win2K and the preferred driver that
Director uses when it's playing sounds. Try getting into your movie's
list of Xtras and removing everytihng except MacroMix; try another
one using just the QT stuff (no other sound drivers). If memory
serves what's happening is some kind of clash between the Director
drivers and the ever-so-intelligently-designed Windows "architecture"
they're supposed to employ.
