Hi, Wonder if someone can help... my ass is on the line!!

 I've built a director movie as a front end for playing 6 x 3 minute long 
quicktime films. Publish projector as .exe, throw all files at the PC in the 
kiosk and all works perfectly for about an hour or so of continuous use. Then 
the video starts to stutter and eventually I end up with a blank screen with no 
response from the touchscreen.

 Movie size is 1280 x 768, video files are 1280 x 720 (and around 300Mb per 
film). The PC has a dual head graphics acrd which feeds a 42" LCD as a slave 
monitor. The kiosk has been back to the factory several times, the graphics 
card has been swapped out, the RAM (2Gb) has been replaced and was bench tested 
in their workshop and all "worked fine". But back in the visitor centre all 
goes pear shaped...

 We have an identical setup the other side of the visitor centre which works 
perfectly but this is a pure director built game, no video files.

 Are the quicktimes (or director) eating up the memory of the PC and not 
letting go or something? How would I fix this?

 Any help is appreciated... :O)
