I believe this was all fully documented somewhere in the past...
quartz.dll is one of the legacy DLL's from ActiveMovie..
(If I remember right from what I read, ActiveMovie became DirectDraw
which then became part of DirectX).

I think I know people running Win98SE just fine with 3.1.2.
http://support.wpine.com/cuwin/faq/cufaq085.htm is the only URL I could
find that references it.

I didn't find any mention of 3.1.2 NOT working with a specific version
of DirectX...You may try re-installing DirectX from Microsoft's site and
see what that does.

That's the hard way...
Windows searches for DLLs in the current directory first...You can
always keep the CU copy of quartz.dll in the location of the CU executables
which need it.  Then whenever you run CU, it picks up the quartz.dll in that
directory rather than looking at the \windows\system directory.

I still have trouble believing CU 3.1.2 doesn't work with the latest
DirectX components.

You might also try wiping the cuseeme.rol and *.crd files from the
Windows System directory and reloading with the NEW quartz.dll...That'll
recreate a lot of things.

I have a feeling that's their answer to a lot of questions. :)

CU Pro isn't really CU-SeeMe.
