How do I stop Quicktime from trying to reset screen resolution?

I am running an AVID Media Composer video editing system on a WIN2000 platform, and just upgradeded to Quicktime 7.1 from 6 so I could run quicktime Pro.
Now every time I try to play a file in quicktime the screen flickers on and off as quicktime attempts to reset the screen resolution. Very annoying! If AVID is also running this causes AVID to crash (tough when you're using AVID to export a QT file!) Quicktime 6 never did this.
Is there a setting in Quicktime to stop this? Or alternately, can I switch back to a pro version of Quicktime 6?
Thanks.

Hey narfee,
I found an article that can goes over how to unregister your computer from syncing.

It depends on what type of computer you're using, but I pasted the relevant steps below:
Unregister a computer from syncing
If you no longer want a computer to sync with MobileMe, you can unregister the computer from syncing. You can unregister any computer that is registered for syncing from any other computer with Mac OS X v10.4.11, v10.5.8, v10.6.x, OS X Lion, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, as long as you know your member name and password.
Unregistering a computer from syncing does not delete any data.
To unregister a computer from syncing:
Mac OS X v10.4.11
Open System Preferences
Click .Mac
Click Advanced
Select the Computer you wish to unregister
Click Unregister
Mac OS X v10.5.8, v10.6.x, OS X Lion
Open System Preferences
Click MobileMe
Click Sync
Click Advanced
Select the Computer you wish to unregister
Click Unregister
Note: In Mac OS X v10.5.8, if you unregister all computers you may be prompted to delete unwanted sync data. If you are no longer syncing with MobileMe, you can delete the unused sync data from the MobileMe servers.
Windows XP or Vista
Open Control Panel
Click MobileMe Preferences
Click Sync

How do I stop Quicktime from stopping recording when it believes the signal is lost?

I'm trying to digitize old VHS home videos through Quicktime (latest version). But when the tracking goes a bit awry, Quicktime stops recording telling me "RECORDING STOPPED, TRY RECORDING AGAIN."
This is not true. It's just an instance of a bad part of the tape. It took me 13 days just to record one 6 hour tape because I had to start a new recording every few moments. I had hundreds of files!
How do I stop Quicktime from ending a video recording when it believes the signal is lost? Is there a way of turning this 'feature' off? If not, does Apple have a software that will do what I'm asking? Final Cut Pro X or something else?
Thank you!

Here is a screenshot of the error. As you can see, I got a full 4 seconds of video recorded before Quicktime X believed the signal was lost (just a bit of off tracking).

How can I stop iTunes from trying to start in another open user account?

When I run iTunes, it often tries to open in another open User account, causing distracting Windows warning tones. How can I stop it from trying to automatically open in the other account?

Close iTunes before switching profiles or disable fast user switching.

How do I stop Quicktime from being the default player for MP3s on IE6? I've disabled everythging I can think of. but QT still launches in a new browser window when I select an MP3. I just need to get back to Windows Media Player.

Open Quicktime Preferences and go to the Browser Plug-in section. Click on the MIME Settings button and change the mp3 item so that QT is not set to open that file type.

How do I stop firefox from trying to resend every day an old email which I addressed to a bad email address?

Unknowingly I sent an email a couple of weeks ago to an outdated email address. I get an update from Mozilla every morning showing how many times it tried to resend that email the day before. But no instructions on how to stop it from trying to resend. Is there a way to stop the resending process? I already know the new correct email address.

Go to the Outbox and delete the mail.
The Outbox is under Local Folders.

"Error setting up transcoder" Then how do I stop Encore from trying to transcode?

All my assets are DVD compliant MPEG-2s or AC3s made with MainConcept. All assets are set to "Don't Transcode". Yet when I try to build the ISO or DVD Folder, after the initial long pause the status window appears and within seconds I get this error.
This doesn't make sense to me. Why is Encore even trying to transcode anything? How do I stop it from doing so? What's the point in having the option to select "Don't Transcode" when its going to try and do it anyway?
Anyone found a way round this? This is really urgent as I must have this project done for Christmas day as its a present. Thanks

What am I, a mind reader? ;)
If you can transcode other projects in Encore, then I'd suggest you do a SaveAs on the project, and then in the copied project, begin deleting assets until you can build without error. Then add them back one at a time and build again until you find the culprit(s).

How do I stop Firefox from doing this?

Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the task manager.
Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

How do I stop iTunes from trying to connect to store?

Does anyone know please how to stop the "could not connect to iTunes store" error from appearing?
I deliberately do not want to connect to the store - my hard drive on this PowerBook is full, and it's now retired from day to day use and is used solely now as a music system with speakers attached.
Despite signing out of iTunes and disabling the store in the parental control panel, however, iTunes keeps wanting to connect to the store. Is there any code I can type in to stop this from happening?
My question is purely an aesthetic one: the error message springs up every half hour over the enlarged album cover flow, looking ugly, and pings the display back to the standard iTunes display. I don't want or need to connect to the store again on this computer.
Cheers
steve

I don't have a good solution yet but I have the same issue.
Preferences:
Show = Podcasts, Applications, Radio.
Check for new software updates = unchecked.
Store = all "Automatically..." are unchecked and...
iTunes Store = disabled in Parental control.
View/Show Artwork Column = unchecked.
Advanced/ "Get Album Artwork" has never been clicked.
iTunes will still sometimes show "Accessing iTunes Store" when it's launched. Little Snitch verifies that it IS trying to make a connection. Little Snitch is a partial solution -- I blocked iTunes but then the app starts reeaallly slooowwllly if it tries to connect. There doesn't seem to be any traceable difference between when iTunes tries to connect on launch and when it doesn't.
I understand that software is licensed, not owned, but I pay for the network connection. I'm in a really old part of town and even 256K DSL comes with no throughput guaranty. I can't have things bogarting my network willy nilly without asking. Especially after I've set everything so that it doesn't need to connect. This is as ******** as the calculator connecting, without asking, with the URL hard-coded into the executable.

How do I stop Quicktime from placing itself in my system registry...

I do not want QT loaded all the time. It places itself in my startup programs and modifies my registry, two things that I do not want it to do.
How do I stop this program from sneaking into areas of my system that I don't want it to?

Yes, I know how to remove it.
What I'm saying is that it RE-loads itself constantly. This is not a bug or an error. In other words the program is designed so that it does this whether you want it to or not. I get a Microsoft Spyware Alert that informs me that Quicktime has once again hijacked my computer and has placed itself in my active programs, has modified my registry, has added itself to my system tray, and has added itself to my list of startup programs. None of these things are needed or desired. This is assinine, since I rarely use the program and don't need it eating up computer resources so it can sit in my system doing nothing. Once this "feature" has have to go in and remove it from all these places.
So short of simply getting one of the many Quicktime alternatives is there a way to keep this program from invading my system?
Thanks for any assistance offered.

How do I stop QuickTime from changing music files to movie files?

I use iTunes exclusively for music & have recently noticed that downloaded files (usually midi files) are showing up in my iTunes library as QuickTime movie files. I usually use Firefox for music downloads but occasionally use AOL, which uses IE. To the best of my knowledge everything to do with music is set to use iTunes, not QuickTime. Now that it's happened I have to go to each & every file & have iTunes convert it to an mp3 when I own a converter that can change all midi files to mp3s at once but can't change QuickTime movie files to mp3s. Why is this happening & how can I stop it?

I have the same issue with Safari opening Web PDF links in Quicktime. When I click on a PDF URL the Quicktime logo will display in Safari, then the first page of the PDF will come up, and only the first page will be available, there is no way to scroll to subsequent pages. I have not found any settings in Safari, Quicktime, or Adobe Reader to turn that off. How can I get Quicktime to not be the default imbedded reader for PDF in Safari.
