?  I get a questionmark  in the middle  of a QT file   what doe this mean

Hello,
I have a question.... I Downloaded a file(QT) The other day... it plays for a short time and then stops. it does not get to the end of the file... and then other time when i download it i get the following message.. " the buffer had been detected(then it names the QT program and where it is on my HD) then it goes on to tell me that it has corrupted the internal state of the program and then it tells me that it cannot continue and must be shut down"
i have uninstalled and re installed same thing... other files work but this one does not.... i have also gone to major sites(yahoo) and there it is.. the big question mark(when they have a movile trailer or something to look at....
does anyone have any ideas?
thanks gig

The link you provided (above) will help many PC users in regard to this "Question Mark Q" issue and thanks for finding it.
I only use my PC for a few tasks each week and both Flash and QuickTime seem to not cause any troubles when I browse using IE 7 on it.
QuickTime 7.1 may have been the first release that acknowledged the Flash security issues and Apple "turned off" Flash media in any default install (local files or web based files).
The "browser" options for Flash Media have always been set to "off" in any QuickTime install so end users must have "enabled" it via the QT Control Panel. It's found in MIME Settings (version 6) or File Types in version 7.
An "additional" layer of security is that, in version 7.1.3, Flash media is also disabled by default install of QuickTime (both browser and local files) and PC and Mac users must "enable" Flash media (Control Panel or System Preferences) before Flash formats can be viewed in any QuickTime Player window or in any browser.
QuickTime 4 introduced Flash media to QuickTime (back when it was owned by Macromedia). Now that Adobe has purchased out Macromedia Flash support in QuickTime may move from its current limits of "version 5, or lower" to more recent releases of Flash.
Since I regularly use Flash media in many of my QuickTime files I welcome Adobe's purchase and look forward to a better partnership and more features for QuickTime Pro users.
Oh! I forgot to include an example of Flash in QuickTime:

Done in 2003 but it is Christmas every year this time.
