Vista - QuickTime

11-29-2007

Having spent literally hours solving hardware and software problems
associated with the Vista Home Premium 32 pre-installed on my new PC, I keep
finding odd things which donâ€™t work when I have occasion to use try to use
them!

Really hoping someone out there can help with latest 3 problems I have
encountered (all of which worked perfectly on old PC running XP), as I have
now wasted many more unsuccessful hours in trying to cure them!

For ease of posting, have separated into 3 questions:
3) QuickTime 7 will not open normally, with Windows instantly closing it.
This also happens if I go by different route and select a .mov file.
QuickTime will open if I Run as Administrator, but this does not enable it to
be used in a video file conversion program (which needs to use components of
QuickTime).

Thanks,

Hi

Well, that Run as Admin-problem really bugs me too. I can't solve the
problem,
but suggest a different way... I'm using Vista Codec Pack on my new Vista
Home Premium and it works fine with .MOV.
I used to run QT on my old XP - but now I don't have to.
