Apple's recent release of QuickTime 7.1.3 has caused problems for many of our users. The reason is that the VSL Skill Player uses Flash-technology within QuickTime, and Apple has with its most recent release by default disabled Flash playback. You can easily fix this problem by re-enabling Flash in the QuickTime avanced settings. If you need assistance, feel free to contact us!
