Quick time buffer overrun message after iTunes 7.3 install/

I just updated to iTunes 7.3 on my Windows XP machine.
Now whenever I start the Quicktime Player, I get the following Visual C++ Runtime Library error message...
"Buffer Overrun Detected!
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."
Any suggestions for a fix? Thanks...

"Buffer Overrun Detected!
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."
Let's first try swapping out your QuickTime.
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?
Thank you for the reply...
I tried the steps you listed.
Everything went smoothly enough, with the exception of not finding the .qtx and .qts files after the QuickTime uninstall. I'm assuming that the uninstall must have removed them. A file search of my entire C:\ drive did not locate them.
However, after the itunes repair, the QuickTime Player still does not launch, and I receive the same buffer overrun error message as before. Any further help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

  • Tunes7 error and Quick time Buffer overrun

    itunes doesn't want to launch. In the beginning it stopped after accepting the license and then closed down with this error: iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    I was reading about similar problem and somebody advised there to try to open Quick Time P. That person had no problem to lunch Quick Time but I do have it. When I try to do it, the program closes down with the message: Buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the programs’ internal state…maybe it’s because I’m international but I have no idea what does it mean.

    that sounds like a broken QuickTime to me. that would cause the itunes launch message that you're getting.
    first head into your Add/Remove Programs, and try to uninstall your existing QuickTime.
    if Add/Remove won't let you remove QuickTime, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).

    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.
    once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, we'll try to slip a fresh quicktime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    go into Add/Remove, 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 this time?

  • HT203175 After upgrading to version 11.0.4.4 I get a "Itunes has stopped working" message when I try to start a movie on my PC. I have updated Quick time and previous version of Itunes worked great.

    After upgrading to version 11.0.4.4 I get a "Itunes has stopped working" message when I try to start a movie on my PC. I have updated Quick time and previous version of Itunes worked great.

    One thing is for sure, and that is if the only page i visit is the Google homepage (not logged in) or this site (mozilla forum), the problem does not occur, ever. I can't make it happen.
    If i visit yahoo.com (not logged in) (or ighome.com, logged in), as examples, it happens every time.

  • I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126"

    I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126". I now can't sync my iPhoneand I am worried that if I re-install I will lose all my contacts,calendar, notes, etc.

    I too had this problems (Windows 8.1).  A few weeks ago after the previous update before this version of itunes, I'd had a problem with the itunes store crashing and at that time I followed instructions to copy QTMovieWin.dll to the itunes folder, which fixed the store crashing.
    Today I fixed the problem by:
    Delete QTMovieWin.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Uninstall ALL Apple Software using Control Panel / Programs and Features.  I uninstalled:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    Delete the folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
    Restart the computer
    Reinstall QuickTime
    Reinstall iTunes
    Everything works GREAT now, including the iTunes store.  You will not lose your media files, I got everything back, all my settings, playlists, etc.

  • ITunes stopped working on Windows 8. Error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly.

    I have Windows 8. Originally iTunes worked fine, then it couldn't update (said it was unsuccessful). Then it stopped working, so I (after much research) tried a long and tiresome method of removing all Apple products and re-installing them. I did this 3 times and it eventually worked and has been working fine for a few months. Recently, when trying to update, it has said "update successful", but when checking for new updates, finds the same one it supposedly just installed, wanting to install it again. For a few weeks now it has not worked at all, saying "error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly" when I attempt to open iTunes. I can't bring myself to go through the whole process again of uninstalling and reinstalling everything, it took hours and it clearly doesn't solve the problem. I have no idea what the problem is. Reinstalling only iTunes doesn't work. The support pages have no advice available for my crappy version of Windows.
    Please help me!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    It shouldn't really take that long to do, assuming it goes smoothly.

  • Why am I getting a message that iTunes is not installed when trying to access items in IE?

    When I am using IE and find an app on the store, then click the button to view in iTunes I am redirected to the download screen. I tried subscribing to a podcast recently as well and got the message that iTunes was not installed on my computer. When I try to do the same actions in Chrome they work fine. Unfortunetly, Chrome does not work well with some of the software my college uses so I would like to get IE functioning fully before classes start back up. This happens even if I disable my firewall. I have tried updating iTunes and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. My husband's computer has several itunes plugins in IE but I don't for some reason.

    Reset IE to defaults.

  • ITunes and Quick Time will not load after update

    I have updated my ITunes to 7.5 and now I get an error message,sends report to microsoft program had to close... and when I try to open QT I get an Buffer Overrun error. I have tried everything that is suggested at these web pages but no success. I have uninstalled, downloaded, numerous times. My Itunes worked fine before the upgrade, now that I have a new 3rd generation Nano its almost useless. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the help

    Did you ever get this problem resolved? I've been having the same problem now for over 2 weeks, and it doesn't matter what I do, including a system restore, it still won't launch. If I dock my iPod, it freezes and doesn't sync, I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice, and it still won't work.
    I got an error message telling that some detection program was preventing it from opening, but when I tried to adjust the program's settings to turn it off for iTunes, it tells me it's required for iTunes.
    This is so frustrating!

  • Buffer overrun detected in iTunes

    When I synchronise photos from my PC to my iPod (5G, 30Gb) I get most of the time the next Error-message in a window named: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtine Library.
    The text of the message is:
    'Buffer overrun detected. Program: C/Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe.
    A buffer overrun has been detected wich can corrupt the program''s internal state. The program cannot safely continue and must now be terminated.'
    As a result of this Error-message the program iTunes is terminated and the photo's are not uploaded to my iPod.
    Is this problem familiar to you and you know the cause and hopefully a solution, I will appreciate if you will inform me about this. Many thanks.

    so after this i tried uninstalling it on control panel and the same thing happens(cant install because a newer virsion is already installed).
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Now run the utility ("Start > All programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Converting Quick Time Movie to MP3 in iTunes

    In iTunes version 4.9 Quick Time Movies converted to MP3 files without loss of audio quality. After upgrading to iTunes 5.0.1 and Quick Time 7.0.2 the conversion results in a great deal of static. Can anyone suggest a fix?

    Hi affilgraph,
    Yes, it can be done. First, go to iTunes preferences, choose "Advanced", click on the "Import" Tab and select "MP3 encoder" next to "Import Using". Close the window. Now select the files in questions, go to the "Advanced" menu and choose "Convert selection to MP3". However, if your files are already encoded to AAC this will not decrease the size of your library significantly AND you will lose sound quality. In addition, converting your library in one go might bring your computer to its knees risking data loss. So, I would recommend buying a bigger HD instead.

  • I need quick time 7.5.5 for itunes.How to repair problem of installation?

    I have mac leopard 10.5.5 powerpc and I have itunes 10.6.3.
    Itunes need Quick Time 7.5.5 or more.
    I tried to install quick time but there is a problem of instalation.
    How to repair problem of installation of Quick Time?

    Some specific downloads of QuickTime:
    7.5.5 for Tiger
    7.6 for Tiger
    7.6.4 for Leopard
    7.7 for Leopard
    Since you have Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, it would probably be better to use one of those Leopard-specific downloads.
