Issue with running QuickTime Windows. Buffer Overrun Error - C++ Library .

Initial problem was Buffer Overrun Error (C++ Library) when clicking on QuickTime after installation. IE. QT would not even open. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831875#appliesto
I took these steps:
1. Tried to uninstall QuickTime by itself (it failed).
2.
3. Manually deleted apple, itunes and quicktime from the entire system (where ever it let me).
4.
5. Manually took out from the registration the apple stuff.
6.
7. Left the items in the recycle bin (in case there were any real issues and I needed something restored).
8.
9. Performed a registration cure (RegCure).
10.
11. Took off my entire Anti Virus.
12.
13. Dropped down separately the QuickTime and separately the iTunes on desktop.
14.
15. Tried to install QuickTime from one of the two saved files on my desktop, but encountered a serious fault
16.
17. It needed the QuickTime Installer to remove QuickTime itself, else it crapped out and nothing happened. This complained for a QuickTime.msi file which was a problem.
18.
19. Went to the recycle bin and restored only components which were marked QuickTime Installer.
Removed the QuickTime instead of Repair.
Went to the website and Installed QuickTime 7 directly.
It opened on the desktop after installation.
Installed iTunes separately from the desktop and it opened directly.
Rebooted my pc.
Enabled all my Security (McAFee).
Opened one by one the QuickTime and Then the iTunes.
Created a computer restore point with a narrative for the future.
This was a very difficult task and required a lot of steps. I am glad you helped me with the removing part. Its great to have everything working again on my pc.
I hope this was helpful - it took me ageges to fix.

I'm experiencing exactly the same bug. Matter of fact, it's the first time in years that I've run across this kind of 'problem' when using non-beta software from a major player. Too bad. This really reflects poorly on Apple's credibility.

Quicktime buffer overrun error with windows

Hi
I hope that some one out there can help me!!!! I have tried to install the new version of quicktime 7.4 but it won't install. And everytime that I try to open Quicktime player is gives me an error which reads:
Buffer overrun detected!
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue exection and must now be terminated.
I have tried to uninstall quicktime and reinstall it several times. I have also used recure to try and fix it. If anyone has any more suggestion other than going to the geek squad I would really appreciate it. I have been trying to fix this for a while. Oh, I did try to go back in the recovery too and that didn't work either.
Thank YOU

Quick Time (Audio Preferences) fails to launch with buffer overrun error

It all started a few weeks ago, after installing itunes7.0 for windows, and itunes began to annoy me (indeed drive me mad) with an error message :
"an unhandled win32 exception has occured in itunes.exe [3840]" at startup / closing immediately afterwards.
After numerous uninstall/reinstall/clean the registry/system restore attempts I managed to solve the issue-- BUT only for a few days..It failed again and so I went through the itunes support forums even found an entry
"iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes fails to launch with an unknown error"
which suggests that my issue could be solved by :
"Open the QuickTime control panel and select the Audio tab.
In the Devices section de-select the Safe mode (waveOut only) option and click Apply."
But to my surprise, when i selected the Audio tab (and the Audio tab ONLY ) it presented me a "buffer overrun error" which indicated that the internal state of the program has been corrupt and it would be shutting down now..
It's such a nuisance..!!
Please, help, and your help will be deeply appreciated... !
I have tried to revert to the older version and it didn't work..

let's try swapping out your existing QuickTime one more time. we'll take a few additional explicit precautions this time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any 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 launch properly now?

Buffer Overrun error when playing MPEG4 video files

Recently i upgraded to the newer version of itunes with quicktime 7.0.2. I am not able to play my MPEG4 video which i have in my itunes library for my ipod anymore.
The video plays for a few seconds but with artifact type glitches in the video and then i get a Runtime Error saying "Buffer Overrun Error". This didnt happen to me before.
I have the latest dirextX and windows updates and have also tryed rolling back quicktime to an earlier version. The error still occurs. The videos also play fine when they are on my ipod.
Any suggestions why this is happening?

Keep getting "Buffer Overrun" error message

Hey, all. I'm trying to burn my (2.5 hour) show from a new G5(OS 10.4.2) w/DVD Studio Pro 4 set at 5(ish) bitrate by 1394 firewire to a dual layer DVD-R in a Plextor 716UF, but keep getting a "Buffer Overrun" error message. Please help...
Tom

There can be a few things happening
One thng to try is just build the DVD Project first to your HD and see if you get the error. If that works then select format (it is a DL Disc it seems) and see if you get en error about the dual layer break being "not found" or invalid then select the DL manually from DVD SP then run again, that worked when I had a similar issue. Also try your internal DL (did not know if you meant new being one of the new DL models, mprobably not since you have the external DL but figured I would throw it out there), perhaps the FW connection is messing up.
Have you also tried burning with Toast? Did you also aac the audio? Did you encode all assets outside of DVDSP then bring them in? Sometimes even deleting PAR/MPEG files may help. have seen a bunch of strangeness

Hi,
This error code means that the specified path couldn't be found.
To fix this issue, I suggest we try following steps and try to reinstall again:
Step 1: Clean update temp files:
1. Press Windows key + R, type service.msc and press enter.
2. Stop Windows update service.
3. Run following command lines one by one to clear update temp files:
cd %windir%
ren SoftwareDistribution SDTemp
exit
4. Restart Windows update service.
Step 2: Clear windows store catch:
Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.
The Store will now open, and state the following: The cache for the store was cleared. You can now browse the store for apps
Then, please try to update Windows 8.1 again.

Can't open Thunderbird..icud+52.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains error. extra error msg can't ld xpcom

having lots of problems with TB lately but until today it worked itself out somehow....now today I- can't open it. suddenly after being prompted to update TB I get error messages. 'program files(x86) Mozilla/Thunderbird/ icud+52.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains error. install again or contact software vendor' then after I click that away get another one 'cannot load xpcom' . I am not very tech savvy with computers but have tried every reasonable thing I trust myself doing. I thought it might have to do with a an outdated Firefox so reinstalled that. I have searched high and low on how to uninstall TB and reinstall again WITHOUT losing any emails...,but none of the answers I found on this question are clear about this so I don't dare to do it yet. I don't have my pop address emails redirected anywhere else (not to webmail) so only access them via TB on my computer. How can I solve this without losing ALL my existing emails and email folders?
thanks in advance.

Hi Chanpuff,
I have a look at my own Windows 8.1 machine, the sqmapi.dll in 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\Windows Portable Devices' is 217KB and in “C:\Program Files \Windows Portable Devices” is 272KB.
If you want to make a modification to the files, it is recommended to make a restore point and backup the important data to reduce the risk of unexpected error.
“Would it be safe to try it out? Or are there other possible solutions?”
The SqmApi.dll is a part of system ,we don`t recommend to try to repair it with a thirty party software. We cannot verify the safety of the software.
I agree with
DonPick, to ensure the safety of the whole system .It is recommended to have a full scan of the whole system.
Best regards

Are there any ventilation issues with running a macbook air in clamshell mode?

...that makes sense to me.
but, why do so many MBA users (on this forum and others) claim that ventilation occurs through the keyboard? Is this claim based on an old macbook design?
for example, here's a related discussion (although fairly old):

A common misconception of unknown origin. The intake and the exhaust for the cooling fan on the 13" MB and MBP are both located on the rear slot at the base of the hinge. In fact, you can actually see the divider that separates the intake flow from the output flow. If it were through the keyboard crevices, then an awful lot of overheats would result from people using impermeable keyboard covers, as well as Apple's warranty department would be flipping out over the Apple store carrying such covers. iSkin ProTouch FX Keyboard Cover for all MacBooks - Black Printed Keys on White - Apple Store (U.S.)
Does one think that Apple sells these only for use when the Notebook is off??? http://store.apple.com/us/product/TW...co=MTM3OTUwMDE Closing the lid, whilst operating the unit actually results in cooler operation due to reduction in power consumed by operating the display, which in supporting the on-board display generates heat far greater than simply powering the video port..

once again, I've tried a few of these keyboard covers. the Moshi keyboard cover is the ONLY one I can recommend. the others are too thick or change the keyboard experience too much.

Re: Is it safe to use MBP with screen lid closed? Leave charge on always?
1. Closing the cover will cause more heat. This is not because of covering the keyboard very much (though it does help some heat be retained). It's mainly because of the shape of the hinge and the fact when closed it covers up the back vent a lot more. For the best cooling, it is best to have the screen open. Just run it as a dual monitor, but make the external the Primary monitor, and if you don't want to use the built in, just turn its backlight off and don't use it.
2. The thing you plug into the wall is not a battery charger. The actual "charger" is built into the computer. It knows when to charge and when not to. If the little light on the power plug is amber, then its charging your battery. When its green, its just powering the laptop and NOT charging your battery at all.

Re: Is it safe to use MBP with screen lid closed? Leave charge on always?
I'd leave the lid open, at least partially...yes it may be fine not doing that, but you are making heat dissipate worse, of course could even theoretically hurt the screen.
As for the battery...well there's really only two choices, have it plugged in or not. As others mentioned, you can't overcharge the battery. It can be damaged a bit from heat, but of course the number one thing that's going to damage it is discharging it...so it's a no brainer-use it plugged in whenever possible, and try to charge it whenever possible when it's not plugged in.

Nope. Apple would disagree with you on that one. Any "closure", which is, when compared to the amount of CFM, is insignificant. In fact, the opening size remains the same. it is only deflected at a slight angle when the lid is closed. Tilt your MBP and see. As well, shutting down the display lowers the heat being generated, even in the lower case. As I said, if it were a problem, Apple would not be selling stands designed to operate your unit in the closed position as the original poster of this thread proposes to do.

QuickTime! Buffer Overrun

Hi everyone, I am using quicktime to convert my videos. I reinstalled my winxp pro. Now I am getting an buffer overrun error mesage whenever I try to convert videos. I don't know how to fix this problem. Installed latest Directx & Quicktime pro player. Pls help me. Thanks.

Hi,

Any issues with PE7 and Windows 7?

Hi All,
I am considering purchasing a second computer. I have had great success with PE7 and Vista, But I can't get Vista on the new Alienware I want to buy. So, has anyone had any issues with PE7 and Windows 7? I have read many posts where there are issues with PE8 and Windows7.
Thanks, Stan

It's a toshiba laptop.

I don't use it a lot, since I have a desktop. I've noticed having a
dedicated video card makes a world of difference in editing. This might be
your problem; a dedicated high end video card is the way to go.
If I do simple compilations I don't have any problems. I usaully am making
a DVD of soccer games. If there is a lot of special effects I'll use my
desktop that has XP.

Buffer Overrun Error When Updateing QuickTime

Hi all,
I am using the most recent version of quicktime so 7.3.1, if I select update from the menu of quicktime player it loads to the following error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library (Error message window header)
Buffer overrun detected!
Program: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the programs internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must be terminated.
If I reopen quick time it seems to be OK but the error above is displayed when I quick on update from the menu again.
Also when I am in the Quick Time Preferences and click update, I get this error message:
Run Dll (Error message window header)
An exception occured while trying to run "shell32.dll,control_runDLL"C:\program files\quicktime\qtsystem\quicktime.cpl""
I have recently reformatted my machine and I have exactly the same problem before and after the format. Please help as this is driving me crazy.

I'm experiencing exactly the same bug. Matter of fact, it's the first time in years that I've run across this kind of 'problem' when using non-beta software from a major player. Too bad. This really reflects poorly on Apple's credibility.

Trouble getting QuickTime to run on Windows 7. Error 46: Could not load or find the Quick Time Active X control.

Trouble getting QuickTime to run on Windows 7.Installation seems to finish successfully. When can try to open it I get the following error message:
Error 46: Could not load or find the Quick Time Active X control. I have reinstalled QuickTime and itunes several times but with no luck. Any suggestions?

Hi Pedro d,
Yes but no! I have tried everything step by step several times. Researching Error 46 on the web is scary business!! The gangsters are out in force on this one, begging to take your money! From a couple of trusted sites I have been able to make this much clear at least for Vista users, I'm using Windows 7 but I think they relate:
"Since the issue causing the Error 46 is that QuickTime registry entries don't have the correct permissions set, the repair is to go and reset all the incorrect permissions. However, this is a long and tedious process. The SubInACL tool from Microsoft (see the link in Resources) can change the permissions as a batch. The batch is defined by a CMD file that lists all of the registry keys to be changed. Once SubInACL is installed on your computer, move the CMD file with all the registry changes into the same folder, typically C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools. Right-click the CMD file, choose "Properties," check "Run this Program in Compatibility Mode" and select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)" from the drop-down menu. Click "OK." Do the same for SubInACL. When you're done, double-click on the CMD file and it will run. Your error should be gone."
I don't have the expertise to do this, do you? I wish that Apple or someone would take the bull by the horns and fix this because what I've read their are a lot of people having this problem. Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Kindly,
pappy01545
