Although I 've used oald8 for a long time, I couldn't open it recently. I thought the problem came from oald8, I reinstalled oald8 but it still doesn't work. When I click to open, it is said that " oald8 quit unexpectedly". I have Quicktimeplayer ver 10.0, what should I do to open oald8? Please help me. Thank you.

Might be a corrupted preference file.
Select your Home folder in the Sidebar of a Finder window then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
From the Preferences folder look for a file similar to this:
com.oxfordadvancedlearner.plist or com.oald8.plist
If you find it, move it to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. See if that helped.
PS - sorry, go to this location in your Finder window by following the process in my last message:
~/Library/Preferences
Then you will see the oald8 folder to delete.
Sorry for any confusion!

Dear Rattha,
Could you please try this:
On the step 5:
First, click on Finder symbol, you will see the searching tool. Type "Library" on there then press the space bar, choose " Filename contains Library". Finally, open Library and find References folder, click on it and find "oald8".
The first step should look like this picture
Hope that they would help you.
Dear ELT OUP guys
My OALD v8 wouldn't work on OS X Lion with Flash Player 10 or 11.
Followed your instructions, downloaded patch files and it's now working fine.
Thank You
I have the same problem with Katie. But after done everything step by step, now I can use my oald8 again.
But sometimes I don't find the transcription of the word and I don't find any choices to repeat the sound. I only can find it by using online oald8. What must I do?
I have this problem too. I have done all the step but it isn't work. It displays nothing on the screen. What should I do?
Dear Minhdat1206,
You might have to uninstall your current Flash Player version, then follow the instruction of Tim 27 ( then Flash Player will automatically update to the newest version again).
You can also contact me by email: bachduong141992@gmail.com, I'll try my best to help you.
I've tried this process, but it doesn't work for me. -_-"
Have you tried uninstalling the current version of Flash Player?
Yes, I've tried that but still doesn't work.
I can't move the two files from "Oald8_FlashPlayer10_Patch.zip" into the plugins directory in step 4, pls help me 😟
Please help me !
Now that I installed my Oald8 done and it works. But when I close it and open it again. It does not work. Nothing happens.
And when I use "Force Quit" quit it. I can open it and it works.
I have up to step 3 but in step 4, I could not drag the two files to the plugins folder. A circle with a dash like a road sign comes up, showing I could not put anything on the CD.
Any tips on moving the two flash files? Should I move the oald8 and oald8.data files from the CD into the applications folder first?
It works now! For future users with similar problems, oald8 and oald8.data should be in Applications and you work with that. Not with the CD which is read-only. Thank you Katie_Hoang for creating this post!
If anyone using Mac Os X Lion 10.8.2 like me, I could not find the folder Library/Preferences. Simply because it doesn't exist in my computer. Therefore, please skip this step 5. You don't need to delete oald8 user preferences thing.
Once you move the 2 flash files in the "Oald8_FlashPlayer10_Patch.zip" to Folder Contents/MacOs/Plugins, you can just simply run the app by clicking the app icon (oald.app) and it worked for me! Hoorayyyy 😍
Good luck guys!
I think u r so lucky, because I have using MacOSX Lion 10.8 and before I had deleted the oald user preferences, nothin worked. Just click Go on Menu, select Go To Folder and paste ~/Library/Preferences and click Go. U r gonna find out the oald8 user preferences. 🙂 .
