Quicktime 7.6.6  VISTA Export Controller  Has stopped Working

Hi,
with Quicktime 7.6.6 on my Vista PC, when I start it I get a Message "Export Controller has stopped working"
When starting it within a browser (eg: Apple Website to watch a keynote) I get a message "Quicktime player has stopped working"
I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Any tips please ?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
Ive got the same problem with Quicktime 7.5.5 on my PC but im not using itunes. It only happens when I open the first instance of Quicktime then it pauses for a while before launching. Every other instance opens normally, but if I close them all and open a new instance, it happens again.
Maybe no biggy cause it eventually opens anyway it doesnt bother me so much but it still pretty frustrating.
Heres the error report...

  • Vista STILL getting "Export Controller has stopped working" problem

    Everyone knows about the "Export Controller has stopped working" problem. The error message displays, then half a minute later, you get a "Quicktime has stopped working" error message. I have Googled it numerous times and I have never found anything more than what I did the first time. As far as I'm aware there are still no fixes for this problem. I believe there has been about three Quicktime updates since the first release of Quicktime 7, when this problem arose, and none have made any difference. Reinstalling and uninstalling + redownloading doesn't work, and I am not prepared to downgrade to an older version of iTunes, or buy a Mac. If anyone has any possible fix for this, please post here. I wish Apple would do something about this.

    A permissions glitch I think, Marz, masquerading as the Export Controller thing we saw a reasonable amount of a few versions ago. (I just checked the wife's 64-bit Vista lappie, and the QuickTime Player Start menu shortcut should have a run as administrator in the right-click menus ... whether that's part of your permissions trouble or a seperate business isn't clear, I'm afraid.)
    The bulk of those "Export Controller" errors got fixed by an update to Apple Application Support, but I was involved in an epically long-running thread back then where we found that for a rare subset of them: (a) Run as administrator would launch the QuickTime Player without the message, and (b) in other admin user accounts on the same PC, the QuickTime Player could be launched normally without the message.
    Since then I've seen a few other similar user-account-specific issues (with different error messages) where the same run-as-administrator trick gets you past the troubles. The precise error message seems to depend on which file/folder/key your user account loses a permission on.
    Finding the dodgy permission can be a pain ... I don't have a reliable technique for that. But one workaround you might want to try is using the QuickTimePlayer.exe compatibility tab to set the Player to always run as administrator. (Unfortunately, it's usually a bit more reliable a workaround on 7 than it is on Vista.)
    Quit the QuickTime Player if you have it open. Track down the QuickTimePlayer.exe file again, right-click and select "Properties". In the Compatibility tab, select "Run as administrator" and click OK.
    Try launching the Player again ... does it launch without the Export Controller error? Or do you instead get one of the error messages described in the following document?

  • Export Controller has stopped working

    Help,
    Whenever I try to export a video, Quicktime crashes and gives me the following error, "Export Controller has stopped working". I'm running a dual core app with Vista premium. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime. My system has also crashed a couple of times since this error has occurred.
    Thanks,

  • Satellite A300D - Upgrading from Vista - "Setup.exe has stopped working"

    Hello,
    I am using Satellite A300D with Vista and I have been trying to upgrade to Windows 7 using the Toshiba Upgrader.
    After choosing the language and proceeding with other steps, it asks me to uninstall a bunch of programs. Some are uninstalled just fine but when it comes four other programs it says "Setup.exe has stopped working" and it does not uninstall.
    I have tried uninstalling them manually but I got the same message.
    These programs are;
    Atheros Driver Installation Program
    Toshiba Hardware Setup
    Toshiba Supervisor Password
    Realtek High Definiton Audio Driver
    As a result I cannot proceed with the upgrade.
    Anyone know what the issue might be?
    thanks in advance,
    Can - TR

    I am having the exact same problem. I have the toshiba satellite 350D. I am only stuck at the atheros driver installation program. As soon as it's supposed to be uninstalled I receive the " setup.exe. has stopped working" I tried uninstalling manually as well and get the same message.
    I think the only fix would be to reinstall vista and then try upgrading to windows 7 again. I would like to stay away from reformatting though.
    I would love an answer to this question as well!! (frustrating)

    We'd better check to see if some other application has stashed old versions of QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • "itunes has stopped working" when closing itunes Windows Vista

    Since November 2007, when I close itunes, I get Windows Vista error "itunes has stopped working" This got worse when it corrupted the itunes library itl file. I deinstalled QT and itunes version 7.5, and went back to version 7.4.3.1 - but the problem persists.
    I believe this problem started with the install of version 7.5

    I am running Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8.  I found a simple solution by browsing through the support communities.  Here it is:   Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    This worked for me.  Good luck.

  • Quicktime player has stopped working in Vista after registering Pro key

    I have installed QT player as part of the itunes QT package today and it appeared to work untill I registered it with my pro key which also enabled the additional function, but when i closed and restarted I get message "Quicktime player has stopped working...etc" and it never opens. I have repaired, reinstalled QT, reinstalled QT and itunes, all to no effect. I then restored to before QT and i tunes installation then reinstalled QT and itunes and it works again !, but only until I enter pro key and exit and restart. There is also an issue with the addin in internet explorer which also does not work, but generates a string of error messages when i try to play movies. Oddly enough, if I run QT as administrator it works, and if it seems the QT browser addin works in Firefox (when run off memory stick)
    I'm completly confused and frustrated; anyone any ideas please, I'm running Vista SP1 on Dell XPS420 Quad core 2.4 Gig 4MB RAM

    Have looked in this a little further and the problem may not be todo with the Pro registration as having restored to a point before QT installation several times I now find that when reinstalled QT works the first time you run it but once closed it will not reopen. However if I run as administrator it runs OK, also if i turn off User Account Control it works OK; this true for the Internet Explorer addin as well as QT player and even the picture viewer. The picture viewer actually reports an error "Quicktime has failed to intialize Error # - 2095". One final observation is that the QT addin works OK without user account control switched off in Firefox 3 b5.
    Something is amiss I suspect with permissions/security and i would rather not operate with User Account Control off.
    Much appreciate anyones advise on this it is driving me mad

  • QuickTime Player has stopped working - Vista

    I have unistalled and reinstalled QT 7.4.5 (whichever the latest is) a few times. It claims to have istalled properly but whenever I try to launch the program the error mesage 'QuickTime Player has stopped working' appears. Waiting for Vista to try and resolve the proble is not working? Any ideas please.

    I'm having a lot less problems with my Vista 64 than I ever did with XP 64.
    In fact I really like Vista and the reasons are nothing to do with the facelift. In so many areas it's simply so much better at doing hardcore stuff than XP ever was. Anyeeeewayyyy....
    However, one area where I repeatedly have major issues is with Quicktime (not that Quicktime was any less of a pain in the *** on XP).
    I'm not getting any errors as such but *this time* I can no longer run Quicktime or access anything needing the Quicktime web Player.
    The application seems to open but nothing appears on the screen. I get the Quicktime taskbutton (which I can close) but no actual program. I've tried reinstalling but to no avail.
    Oddly, simply double clicking a mov file works fine.
    UAC is off.

  • "Itunes has stopped working" in Windows Vista 64bit

    I am at my wits end!  My I tunes will usually load but if it opens in my library and I try to access the Itunes store it always crashes with the "Itunes Has Stopped Working" error message.  "Windows is checking for a solution" follows but nothing is ever found.
    I've tried completely removing Itunes and reinstalling. I've tried updating all drivers including the one for my ATI video card. I've scanned for viruses and maleware.  I even downgraded from Itunes 10 to Itunes 9 which seemed to work for about a day.
    I've also done the sfc /scannow which showed some file issues but none that looked to be a problem.  One thing....my Gateway PC came preloaded with Windows Vista and I do not have an installation disk.
    When I check the details on the crash this is the info that I get:
    I've tried just about everything I could find I still keep having this problem.  Usually Itunes will start but if I click on a song in my library or try to go to the Itunes store it will crash.  Here is the info I get about the crash:

    Does anybody have any ideas or hints?  Would upgrading to Windows 7 potentially fix this problem?
    HELP!!!!!

    If we're talking about the (third-party, not-produced-by-AMD) ATI Tray Tools utility, the drivers for the utility are a bit scruffy. They've caused some trouble for the QuickTime Player since before the itunes versions 10.x came out, but after a while the issues started to ramify through to iTunes as well as QuickTime. The precise nature of the symptoms seems to depend on which combination of iTunes/QuickTime versions and ATI Tray Tool versions you've got, too.
    On a 64-bit system, it's probably worth trying first adding iTunes.exe to the Auto 2d/3d and osd exception list. But just recently someone got past this sort of thing by disabling "Show FPS" on a 32-bit system:

  • ITunes has Stopped Working in Vista

    Browsing this forum, I see quite a few people are having trouble with the newest version of iTunes.
    Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7.5 a few weeks ago on my 32-bit Vista Ultimate, the program will no longer run. When I try to start iTunes, I get a message saying "iTunes has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem." Also, whenever I start up Windows, I get a similar message saying "iTunesHelper Module has stopped working."
    When I tell Windows to check online for a solution, it just gives me a page telling me there's a newer version of iTunes, but it is the newest version that I'm trying to run.
    Any thoughts?

    This solution has worked on one of my 4 computers so I can't guarantee but it might be worth a try.
    Uninstall Itunes and Quicktime. Reboot your computer
    Empty out the recycle bin
    Use Search to locate any and all files and folders that reference itunes or quick time. Of course do not touch your music folder.
    Delete all these references to itunes and quick time.
    Reboot.
    Download a standalone version of Quick time and install.
    Download Itunes (I used version 7.4.1 that I obtained from Oldapps.com.)
    Once this was done I was able to run itunes on my laptop. I did upgrade to 7.5 but I could not get my sons nano 8GB to sync so I reverted back to 7.4.1 and it works just fine.
    I have yet to get itunes working on My wifes vista laptop and it quit working on my XP desktop some time ago (I have never used it and wouldn't care except my son just bought the nano) Itunes a version prior to 7.4 was running on my sons laptop until he upgrade to 7.5 when he bought the nano, just last Friday, and 7.5 totally borked things up. Aside note is that his hard drive crashed a day later, but I don't think that had anything to do with it.
    If you read through this board you will find that itunes and windows are not getting along well at all. If you have a "new" ipod be it nano, classic or what ever I beleive you must use version 7.4 or newer. It seems to me that if Apple really wants floks to buy these things they should be sure the primary piece of software is stable and works!

  • QuickTime Player has stopped working

    On my Vista machine, I can not run Quicktime since I get the error "QuickTime Player has stopped working" so it basically crashes. If I run Quicktime from other user accounts it works fine. It also works fine if I run it "as administrator". I have uninstalled and reinstalled it with no success. I have also followed suggestions in this forum to erase some hidden quicktime related files with no success. Does anyone have any other ideas???

    Many thanks. Best to print off a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
    Preliminaries
    Switch "Run as administrator" off in the QuickTimePlayer.exe compatibility tab.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the QuickTimeInstaller.exe (installer file) from the following page. Get the option that doesn't mention iTunes. Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Now quit all of iTunes, Safari and the MobileMe control panel if you have them installed and open. (They all use AAS, and may interfere with the uninstall if left open.)
    *Uninstall phase*
    Head into your Uninstall a program control panel. Uninstall QuickTime. Uninstall Apple Application Support.
    (From this point, none of iTunes, Safari or the MobileMe control panel will launch until we reinstall AAS, which should happen when we reinstall QuickTime.)
    Next we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
    In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your program files installed on).
    Open the "Program Files" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Open the "Common Files" folder.
    Open the "Apple" folder.
    Right-click on the "Apple Application Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" and "QuickTimeVR" files (if they still exist) and select "Delete".
    Empty your Recycle Bin.
    (If you got any error messages on the uninstalls and/or deletions, let us know what they say. Precise text, please.)
    *Reinstall Phase*
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier. (This should also reinstall Apple Application Support.)
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    ... does QuickTime launch without the error this time? Or do we still have to do the "Run as administrator" thing?

  • Itunes has stopped working - Vista

    For the last couple of months I keep getting a message on my laptop running vista saying that "iTunes has stopped working". If I reinstall it, the program works but then after restarting a couple of times, the message comes back. The same thing happens with Quicktime also.
    iTunes used to work perfectly before. I don't know what prompted it to stop working like this.
    PLEASE HELP!!! I'm tired of having to uninstall and reinstall iTunes everyday.

    nathansgurl:
    That's an odd one. If I had to guess, I would say that a virus is corrupting iTunes, requiring the reinstall. I'd like to take a look at your crash in more detail. Can you the Bucket ID for the crash? Go to Control Panels > Problem Reports and Solutions, click View Problem History, find one of the iTunes crashes and double-click on it. At the bottom, you should see a Bucket ID. What's that number? If you want, you can email it to me at <[email protected]>. Please include a link to this Discussions thread in your email.
    If you haven't already, you should definitely fully update your anti-virus software and definition files and run a deep scan.

  • Itunes has stopped working - quicktime will not open missing rundll32.exe

    I have a Gateway computer with windows vista. When I try to open itunes I get the message that itunes has stopped working and windows will close. When I try to open quicktime in the control panel I get the message the windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working. I can not uninstall quicktime. I have downloaded and installed itunes and quicktime many times but this does not help. Please someone help me. I am at wits end. How do other people have itunes working with windows vista?

    Hey MrsBeth, it looks like your PC is on a network or something. I am uncomfortable giving advice since I don't know what's going on there.
    What I am comfortable with is these directions below. Give yourself full control and ownership the the entire C: drive and all its subfolders. And temporarily turn off UAC for good measure - you can turn it back on after you've installed iTunes.

  • "iTunes has stopped working" error in Vista

    Hey all,
    This question is for my cousin. He has iTunes installed on Vista. It has been working before. It came up with this error, seen on www.ashrat.id.au/itunes.jpg
    He has uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it several times. He also downloaded and installed the latest version of 8.0.1, of course rebooting the computer after installation.
    Nothing odd seems to have happened beforehand to cause this. However, does anyone have any suggestions to fix the problem? This error comes up nearly right away when launching iTunes and the main interface doesn't show.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Same problem here with Vista Ultimate Edition and ITunes 8.0.1.11. I get the "ITunes has stopped working" generic Vista error msg. Quicktime v755.90.70 also gives the same generic message. I've done the "slash and burn" uninstall method for both Itunes & QuickTime as outlined in the support section (remove both apps, remote QT add-ins in \Windows\system32, run the MSI installer cleaner from MS) reboot, re-install and still no luck.
    I've also disabled DEP system-wide (since Itunes cannot be configured to run without DEP), I've run Itunes as "administrator", and even tried running it in Vista Safe Mode but still am still not able to run either application.
    A bit deeper analysis into the Eventlog / Application log reveals the following:
    "Faulting application QuickTimePlayer.exe, version 7.55.90.70, time stamp 0x48ba1f5c, faulting module QuickTimePlayer.exe, version 7.55.90.70, time stamp 0x48ba1f5c, exception code 0xc0000409, fault offset 0x0000130d, process id 0x1ba4, application start time 0x01c94752a45e7550."
    and for Itunes....
    "Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 8.0.1.11, time stamp 0x48e41bb0, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x646f4320, process id 0x1a88, application start time 0x01c9475198965590."
    I'm really stuck at this point with no real way to get Itunes to work. I'd really, really prefer not to reload Vista. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  • 'iTunes has stopped working' error message on iTunes startup with vista

    Today i downloaded iTunes 7.1, i opened it and all seemed well, i played a few tracks etc.
    but, when i plugged my ipod in i was told that iTunes has stopped working,
    i tried to open it again, but the same message pops up.
    so i restarted the computer, tried again, with and without the ipod in, still no success.
    So i re installed itunes. Noting, i even re-dowloaded it, but still nothing.
    i can't even open it, let alone sync my ipod.
    I am currently running vista premium, and i had ipod problems with 7.0.2, i had to manually manage the iPod, auto sync crashed the computer. How do i fix it?!?
