Error message whenever I try to use QuickTime

Had older version of QT-worked fine--used only for Picture Viewer and video clips downloaded from my digital camera. Downloaded newer version--would not work--got only msg: "QuickTime has encountered a problem and has to close"--same as Celestika. Unfortunately it also permanently disabled the older version! Learned new version required Windows Service pack 3, so I installed it, QT still not working. Re-downloaded QuickTime 7.6.6 July 12--same message--"QT has encountered a problem and has to close." I don't know how to access technical suopport for this problem--unable to do so on this website. Can someone help?

That's perfect information as it is, thanks, aru. (We can deal with everything in the folder "at once" as it were.)
There are too many files: QuickTime.cpl, QuickTime.qtp, QuickTime.qts, QuickTimeCheck.ocx, and QuickTimeVR.qts, in that order.
Drag the QuickTime.cpl, the QuickTimeCheck.ocx, and the QuickTime.qtp out onto the desktop. Have a quick doublecheck for a QuickTimeMusicalInstruments.qtx as well, and drag that out onto the desktop if it is present. (That often seems to appear running-around-loose when those other ones you're seeing show up for people ... although the precise details of what shows up in people's systems will depend on what software dropped the files there. There's quite a big range in numbers and types of files that can show up.)
There was also a folder containing 17 items,
Drag that entire QuickTime folder out onto the desktop.
With those items out of the system32, try launching your QuickTime Player again. Does it open this time?
If you're up and running again, it should be safe to delete the files and folders you dragged out onto the desktop. (You might need to reboot the PC first, though. System software can "have hold" of the files, and not let them be deleted ... but a reboot usually breaks the grip.)

  • Why am I getting an error message whenever I try to use Firefox?

    Firefox was working fine then all the sudden it stopped. Now whenever I click on Firefox to use the internet I get an error message "can't establish a connection". This happened on another computer then all the sudden it began working again. I need Firefox back. What do I do?

    Thank you wbddaniela, I tried your advise. However, I am still getting the same error when I click on firefox to get on the internet. If you have any other suggestions I sure would appreciate it. I'd really like to be back on Firefox. I've even tried to unload firefox from my system and reload it. No go there either.

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

  • I get an error message when I try to use share function on IPhoto. I get the triangle icon with an exclamation mark inside of it.

    I get an error message when I try to use the share function on iPhoto. When I try to share photos via email a triangle icon with an exclamation mark appears. Why can't I use share function?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    Regards
    TD

    As in the title. For a while the headphone jack is occasionally crackly when the jack moves around in the port. It finally died today when I plugged it in and all the audio is heavily distorted and sometimes cuts out completely. Whenever I try to set up a service with Apple I keep getting this error message:

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
    ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

  • I am getting an error message when I try to use the rectangle tool.

    This just started today, I use an HP lap top with windows 8, I just downloaded Photoshop in January. Every time I use the rectangle tool I get this message: "Could not use the rectangle tool because of a program error." how do I figure out, and fix, the error.

    Hi Meagan.
    We need to know exactly what version of Photoshop you are using.  There are two versions of Photoshop CC as well as CS6 still available, and it makes a difference.
    We need to know a bit about your hardware.  You say it is an HP, but what is the model number?  How much memory (RAM) does it have, for instance.  An easy way to pass on that information would be to open Photoshop and go Help > System info > Copy and paste it into this thread along with your other answers.
    Has the rectangle tool ever worked?
    Have you had any other issues?
    What have you tried by way of a fix?  It's OK if asking here was your first step.
