I recently received several reports that SizzlingKeys stopped working after upgrading iTunes to 7.1. After some researching and testing, I’m now pretty sure the problem is caused by QuickTime 7.1.5 and not by iTunes. And the problem affects Mac OS X 10.3.9 only. Everything works fine on OS X 10.4.9 Tiger.

The problem seems to be that QuickTime is calling a missing symbol (_JVTDecoOpen). SizzlingKeys is not the only victim. Several other apps, including TurboTax, VLC and WoW (World of Warcraft), are affected by this.

I hope to find a workaround soon. In the meantime, if you’re running SizzlingKeys on Panther with an older version of QuickTime, do not upgrade to QT 7.1.5 just yet.
