ITunes (as well as Quick Time) doesn't work

Just bought an iPod (Classic Video 160GB) and tried to install iTunes 7.5 (incl. QuickTime 7.3).
Installation goes perfectly well. However, when I try to start the programs, the problems begin.
QuickTime gives me a 'Buffer Overrun' when I try to start the program.
+Buffer overrun detected!+
+Program: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe+
+A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.+
I tried to uninstall Quicktime but this doesn't work as the (un)installation program does a rollback at the end of the uninstallation not completing the uninstallation (even reversing it if I'm not mistaking). Have tried uninstalling it with Zsoft Uninstaller and Revo Uninstaller without success.
iTunes on the other hand gives an error as well. It's one of those errors in which Windows asks you if you want to send a report. If I do, the 'Microsoft Solution Website' tells me that I haven't got the latest version of iTunes, not true offcourse.

What I already tried:
-Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes
-Deleting all temp-files through disk cleanup as well as manually
-I have Windows XP, _fully updated_
-Running multiple anti-virus and anti-spyware programs
-Ridding my C:\Windows\system32\ directory of any Quicktime files other than QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx (as suggested in the QuickTime-forum)
-Installing an older version of QuickTime (obviously didn't work because a newer version is already installed.
-Cleaning my Registry with Abexo Free Registry Cleaner
For your information, have never used or tried to install iTunes on my laptop before. I have had QuickTime on my laptop in the past but installed the Quick Time Alternative instead (which I uninstalled yesterday, hoping that would solve the problem).
As I have tried to find a solution to my problems all day now and am not able to find any answers, I hope someone here will point me in the right direction..!! Thank you very much in advance!

OK you need to uninstall AVI and Ace Mega codec pack and you have already uninstalled Quicktime alternative.
Once you ahve uninstalled the codec packs
Download the stand alone Quicktime:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method here (just Quicktime):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Or for Vista
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

Quick Time Doesn't recognize most of my emails that have attachments

When I get an Email with a video attachment, Quick Time will not play it. It says that Quick Time doesn't recognize the format. Until I updated quick time, Windows media player was my default player. How can I switch back to making windows media my default player again?

Quick Time doesn't load.

Quick time doesn't load when needed. I have both Versions X, and 7 installed. I have also reinstalled Snow leopared and still doesn't work. In some instances especiall on Apple's web site, Quick Time will load, but I'll get audio and no video. Other times a window will pop up saying I need to install Quick Time.
I've also tried to download from the web, and a notice say that it can't install because it is all ready installed.
Quick Time 7 has already been installed in my utilities folder.

Confusing when you give the wrong information.
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
A Mac OS X v10.6, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is available for use with older media or with AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.

You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

After OS X Snow Leopard update. Why doesn't quick time doesn't load?

after OS X Snow Leopard update. Why doesn't quick time doesn't load?

Try installing the 10.6.8 Combo update which contains all the latest updates for that OS. Be aware that there appears to be no further support for Snow Leopard.

If you have done it before it will do no harm. Indeed it is known to repair some minor blemishes in your system.

E72 - Contacts quick search doesn't work correctly

Hello!
I have over 1,500 contacts in Outlook and has successfully synchronized them with Nokia E72 (last firmware). But quick search in Contacts application simply doesn't work - I can find only few contacts - others just dissapear when I start typing correct letters.
I tried to kill the process of this app and restart Contacts. Voila, it works correctly! But then in 5 min. I tried again and got just the same problem.
Desktop quick search doesn't work too.
I've already tried to reload all the contacts in my phone - no results.
What would you advise to solve that problem?
Thanks in advance.

The E72 Is from the most point of views a complete and very good phone.
But this bug drives me crazy!
Zam72 is completely spot on: Pathetic, Killer Feature, frustrating.
I've done som more testing:
Started with a quick search from home screen, found the contact I was lookng for.
Made a Mail for exchange sync. Same search, no hits. (thought I found the issue...)
Reboot, speed search work again.
New Mfe sync, search still works, repeated a couple of times, still ok.
Two hours later: Search still works
New mfe sync, search once again goes blank!
Now i'm noticing that when I open the contacts, I can browse the contacts, but if i enter a letter it first appears, but directly disapears making search impossible.
I'M NOT ABLE TO USE THIS PHONES CONTACTS!!!!!!
I believe this is related to Mfe synchronizations, but it's a random issue.
Yes, I've tried a *#7370# with no luck.
I'm not using PC-suite sync at all (no conflicts)
I'm not running other programs simultaniously.
I feel like a Beta tester!

Quick Time Player stopped working & Export Controller stopped working

I'm not quite sure when my problem began, I downloaded video from my Canon sd980is camera to my computer, when I tried to view the videos I get the Quick Time Playerhas stopped working "A problem caused the program t stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" and I also get Export Controller has Stopped Working. I have attempted to uninstall QuickTime but am not sure if that actually occured. Now, when I try to open QuickTime it says "Quicktime has stopped working. I am able to play music and video from my itunes. I just can't play my .MOV from my camera on computer. ANYONE able to assist??

I've got a few suspicions here, but I'll ask some questions before proceeding (to work out if I'm on the right track).
Was this the first time you had downloaded video from the camera to the PC? If so, did you have to install any Canon software in order to do that? If so, what was the name and version of the software?
When you tried to uninstall QuickTime, did you get a "fatal error" message?

Reinstalled 10.3.4, now date/time doesn't work or open

I had a hard drive failure, a company replaced my drive with a new one in my G4. The new hard drive works fine, they reinstalled 10.3.4 from my original disks, but the date/time doesn't work and I can't open that panel even.
So I just resinstalled from those disks again and it still didn't fix this problem.
Also my old password for installers doesn't work either, but it lets me bypass it.
Any suggestions?
Should I just try upgrading to Tiger and see if that works?
Thanks

blackrhino:
Not sure what the problem is, however, before you go reinstalling or upgrading try this:
1. Reset PRAM.
2. a. From a cold start, boot from your installer disk holding down the "C" button. Go to the Installer Menu and open Disk Utility.
b. Select your Mac OS X startup disk.
c. Select the First Aid tab in the Disk Utility window.
d. Select Repair Disk button in Main panel. If problems are found run again and again until no problems are reported.
e. Select the Repair Disk Permissions button on the First Aid tab.
f. After Repair Disk Permissions completes, Quit (Command-Q) Disk Utility.
3. Update Software to 10.3.9 (Go to Apple Menu and select Software Update.
Post back after these operations.
Good luck.

Quick time does not work on win7. What do I do?

quick time does not work on win7. What do I do?

Mine works fine with both my iPad and my iPod Touch. Been using it for two years. I recently replaced it with an Apple TV.

My phone is being a real pain! Time doesn't work, can't sign into iMessage and only some apps work! It also kicks me off the wifi! This is not my connections problem, it happens everywhere! Apple is terrible! Phone also freezes a lot!

[E61i] Alarm-Clock / buzzer / timer doesn't work a...

[E61i] Alarm-Clock / buzzer / timer doesn't work anymore
Hey there, I use an E61i with the newest firmware and since some months ago (it seems ~the installation of the new firmware) my alarm clock sounds goes off, but not hearable. It's not loud, it is almost not even hearable if you're near to it.
All my other sounds work just fine, call rings, sms notification, ringtones, music, all fine.
But just the alarm clock doesn't work.
I checked ALL options at least twice, I tried to change almost every option and made several test rounds concerning the alarm clock. I just don't know what happened, why it happened and how I can repair it.
I can provide you with more information, what do you need?
Thanks in advance & kind regards.
