Quartz Composer Files not opening

Hi, I am new to Quartz Composer. I hope I am posting this query in the right area.

Browsing the net to get info on doing motion detection with QC, I have come across a number of downloadable sample compositions. However, when clicked on, the following message appears -"the downloaded composition is unsafe and cannot be run inside webkit".

Control clicking allows me to download the file anyway but on launching QC a message reads that the file was not restored successfully, listing the problems (eg. > Macro Patch Cannot create node of class "QCQueue" and identifier "(null)"etc.)

From discussions on the pages that these compositions are posted on, it is clear that others have downloaded and used these files without problems.

I have QC Version 2.0 (16) running on a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.4.11

Any ideas?
Many thanks!

PowerBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11), Intel Core Duo

In Quartz Composer, some of the patches are deemed as "unsafe" because they could potentially be used for malicious purposes, such as the video input or audio input patches. I'm pretty sure that Kineme ( http://kineme.net/ ) has a plugin that lets you work around those limitations, though.
