2. Uninstall older versions of Quicktime
How to uninstall QuickTime on a Windows PC Apple
If you are trying to install QuickTime 7 and run into difficulty, see if your computer has QuickTime version 3 or 4 installed on it. If it does, uninstall QuickTime 3 or 4 completely before attempting to install QuickTime 7 again. Once the old version is gone, you should be able to install QuickTime normally.
Troubleshooting Tips
• Make sure your computer meets the system requirements.
• Try running ScanDisk to verify that the directory is OK. This is an important step to take before installing any software.
• Make certain you have installed the most recent drivers for your sound and video cards. Even if you have a "brand new" computer, it is not guaranteed to have the most recent software installed. Contact the manufacturer of your sound and video cards for additional information.
• Make certain you have installed a recent version of DirectX.
Errors are usually related to software conflicts, unusable files, or incompatibilities. They can also be related to specific hardware combinations, and sometimes the way in which the hardware is configured. Keep in mind that an error message does not necessarily point to a particular cause or solution. Since there can be many different causes for a particular symptom, some suggestions may not work, and you may need to discover a solution on your own.

Quicktime in Windows XP SP3 (Servicepack 3)
Q: When clicking on the <Yes> button during the registration process the application quits with an error message?
A: This is a bug - Microsoft pushes the blame to Apple and vice versa. Until this bug has been fixed please do the following:
- Open Quicktime Preferences and click on the <Advanced> tab. Set Quicktime in Safe Mode (only GDI)
- Quit Quicktime
- Starting Compás Metronome and register
- Quit Compás Metronome.
- Start Quicktime again and put it back in DirectX
- Quit Quicktime
- and start Compás Metronome again.
File types of Quicktime
Q: The program does not load the example movies. They still are in the directory on the hard disk.
A1: Go to the QuickTime preferences > File types (1). Check the 'Quicktime Movie' box (2) and 'Notify me if ...' (3).
A2: Right-click on a QuickTime .mov file and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
In the Properties window select (1) Quicktime and (2) check the 'Always use the ...' box.
Sometimes you have to deinstall the VCL player. Check out if all files are deleted.
Windows Vista
For Vista, the program was never officially released. Please test the try-out version.
User recommendation:
Windows Vista will have problems running some older versions of applications. There is a compatibility mode that can be easily set per application. To configure the compatibility mode for an application, just locate the installation directory and right click on the .exe, selecting Properties from the menu.
Select the Compatibility tab:
You can choose to run the program in Windows XP compatibility mode, or even all the way back to Windows 95 compatibility. Probably the most useful setting to start off with would be to disable the visual themes and desktop composition, if you can't get things working. You'll have to play around with it, but most likely you can get your application working this way.
Thanks to Rod, Miami.
