Itunes 7.02 Upgrade Prob. Doesnt Play or Move Progression Ba

Question

Had old version of itunes and it worked like a charm. Now this thing recognizes my old libraries but it will not play anything it recognizes. The player just stays at 0 seconds and the progression bar doesnt move. Any ideas?

Answer 1

hmmmm. those symptoms (in earlier versions of itunes) were often caused by a subtly damaged QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
so let's first try swapping out your Quicktime.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it play properly now?
