HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/sofware/classes/QuickTimePL and opening "Regedit" Menu.

Like other people on here, I, too, have had problems with downloading the new QT. I receive the same error message. I've tried what's been suggested in other threads (Opening "Regedit"), but I cannot acces it for more than five seconds or so. I have an administrator's account. Can anyone help me find out what the problem is?

(If so, there's probably an issue with the ACLs (access control lists) for your QuickTime registry keys ... but I like to rule out the simpler possibilities before leading someone down that particular troubleshooting path.)

  • VLC and "open with" menu

    When I try to "open with" and .mkv media file I get two identical results for VLC.
    For AVI's there is only one entry which leads me to believe that it is not installed twice.
    Was just wondering if anyone had an explanation for this?

    norwichfan88,
    It sounds like Resetting Launch Services, by Dr. Smoke will fix your problem.

  • Why won't my trackpad work properly and the cursor will move on it's own and open windows and menu's randomly?

    I bought my Macbook Pro less than a year ago and the other night I was watching a TV show in itunes and I couldn't use the track pad. I was able to finally shut the Macbook down and the next morning I rebooted it. It was still acting weird and the trackpad was jumpy and would randomly start opening windows and menus as if someone was contriolling it remotely. I used my bluetooth mouse and it seemed to work ok until tonight when I was copying some files wirelessly (or trying to) and evey time I tried to select files the cursor would jump to another screen and open a menu and then select all and open all my file folders. I was able to get that to stop openin ght ewindows but I still can't use the track pad and the machine acts like it is possesed and has a mind of it's own. I have made sure file saring and screen sharing are off and the battery shows to be normal from doing the control+battery test. What is going on and how can I get this fixed?

    Look at this Apple support article and see if this is of any help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1449
    In addition, check the MBP battery which resides under your trackpad.  They have been known to swell up and interfere with the trackpad operation.
    Ciao.

I contacted the apple support and they could not help. has anyone gotten this error? Did some research some results show that this has occurred during updates on the itunes but has not seen how to successfully uninstall without getting this error. I attempted to use the control panel and uninstall but it provides me with the same error all the time. I NEED SOME Answers on this issue. Can you please help?!

    Perhaps try the fixit from the following Microsoft web page. (Try the "problems uninstalling" option.)

  • Why does Firefox 31 change all PDF icons and opening in browser, require a fix using REGEDIT to fix for ALL USERS on a computer?

    The solution to use REGEDIT in the question linked below almost fixed my trouble with PDF files on over 30 computers, with several users on each computer:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1013642
    But I needed to fix it for ALL users on a computer, without logging onto each account, on each computer. My fix was to logon as administrator and change the following system-global key instead:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.pdf
    Name: Default
    Type: Reg_SZ
    Data: FirefoxHtm
    Changed the data from FirefoxHtm to AcroExch.Document.11
    I use Adobe Reader XI on Win7 Pro, 64-bit machines.
    The problem started when I ran a downloaded file to install the new version of Firefox on the computers.
    Why would Firefox require me to use REGEDIT in this manner to fix the problem?

    This only happens when you set Firefox as the default browser and Firefox thinks that there is currently no application the handles PDF files.

  • New IPOD nano and getting HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\software\Classes\quicktime

    I tried to install the software for my new iPod Nano and it would nto load for this message:
    could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTime,QuickTime\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. I've tried shutting off the firewall and made APPLE a trusted site. I even removed the old Quicktime from my computer and this did not work. Please help this not very tech savvy old lady.

    I had a similar error:
    Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib
    .QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have
    sufficient access to that key, or contact your
    support personel.
    Apple help told me it was a Windows problem and that
    I needed the Service Pack 2 (SP2). I already had that
    update, so that alone was not the problem. In surfing
    the net, I found an answer for my error that worked
    on bleepingcomputer.com from HitSquad. Here it is, it
    may work for you too:
    Click Start>Run and type "regedit" (without the
    quotes)in the Run dialog box and click OK. This will
    open the Windows Registry Editor. In the left side of
    the window, navigate to the path in the error
    message. HKEYLOCALMACHINE is the top folder,
    Software is the next folder, etc., etc. Right click
    on the Quicktime.qt folder and select
    "Permissions...". In the Security tab, it should list
    Group or user names you have. Select a user name and
    in the lower part of the window, make sure "Full
    Control" and "Read" have check marks under "Allow".
    Click "Apply". Now log back on under the username
    listed in the upper part of the window.
    Mine had a strange twist, even though I am an
    Adminstrator on my computer, for some reason, my user
    name was not listed. My son's user name was - maybe
    because he loaded the itunes initially? I changed his
    account to administrator and loaded itunes and
    QuickTime under his name and the error went away.
    Anyway, itunes 7 is now working. I'm no expert, but
    this worked for me. Good Luck!
    JB
    This was a fix for me. I have to use my wifes log in to windows. I think she might have loaded the itunes a while ago under her log in. Good Luck everyone. At least now I can use my 80 gig ipod for something else than a paper weight. I must say though, Microsoft would have had a fix by now for this.
    Good night and good luck,
    Chief

  • How can I get the cursor's position in a opened file and display a menu?

    Hello,
    I want to make a program by which I will be able to display a panel/pops up menu at the corsor's current position, (In any text/doc file or in the desktop, we can display a menu by right click of the mouse.) Now I want my program to do the same task.
    More clearly-
    1. First I would save some words or sentences in a file(aa.txt).
    2. Then I would open another text file/ a word/ excel/ or any other editor( bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html ).
    3. While editing or writing something in the opened file, if I click the right mouse button/ press a key (ctrl+space), a menu will appear containing the sentences I saved in the file(aa.txt) previously.
    My program will tell me the cursor's position in bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html that i opened. And display a menu. my problem is not reading / writing in a file.
    My problem is how can I get the cursor's position in a opened file display a menu at that position by a mouse/key action*.
    Would you please help me on this regard.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    ''jstavene wrote:''
    can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
    Then it's not the same issue.
    If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
    * [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
    In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

  • Adding and deleting applications in Bridge "Open With" menu

    How do you add or remove applications from the context sensitive open with menu in Bridge CS4?  Just to make sure everyone knows exactly which menu I am talking about,here is an example, right click a .bmp thumbnail image in bridge cs4, go to the "Open With" menu and select which application you want the image opened up in. I would like to add Photoshop cs4 to this menu and am unable to determine exactly how this is accomplished. Any and all help greatly associated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Thanks in advance                                                                                                                                                                                                    Rick

    Have you visited the preferences/file type associations and set the default for bmp to CS4?
    If that does not fix it you will have to go into the OS and set that up as an option.
