Quicktime Buffer overrun in WIndows XP!

Hi.
I have a problem with Quicktime (7.3). When I try to run the program I have the following error message:
+"Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Runtime Library+
+Program C:\....\quicktimeplayer.exe+
+A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrpted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated"+
It happened suddenly without installing anything. I've tryed uninstalling and installing again but the error still showing.
iTunes doesn't run either. By the way, iTunes doesn't show any error message, it just doen't run.
Any help will be welcome.
Thanks!
P.S. My OS is WinXP, not crap Vista.

Here is a Macrumors article about Quicktime buffer overflows. The problem described may or may not be the one you are experiencing, and note the name of the site: MacRUMORS.

  • "Quicktime Buffer Overrun Detected" When Updating Existing Software

    So the subject line basically says it all. Quicktime runs fine until I pull down the "help" menu and select "Update Existing Software" which immediately gives me a C++ error "Quicktime Buffer Overrun Detected." I've tried repairing Quicktime and it does the same thing still. I'm running v.1.3.7 and Windows XP.
    An interesting side note: When Quicktime is running my desktop flashes as though windows is refreshing it. Any idea what that's about?

    Bumped. A little help would be appreciated...

  • 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

  • Quicktime-Buffer overrun detected

    Advice please?
    QT 7.1.3 is giving me the above message. In addition, it is indicating C++ runtime library. "A Buffer overrun has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated."
    I have uninstalled itunes and QT several times and reinstalled. I have kept itunes and just removed QT. itunes works great even though QT is not. I have defraged my HD's. I have cleaned my registry's and removed QT files from the system 32 folder.
    I recently installed QT version 6.5.2 and it worked. However, itunes will not open up with that version. Relunctantly, I upgraded again from that prior version and I am still getting the same error.
    I have attempted to trouble shoot conflicts with other applications through MSConfig-unable to resolve.

    Pretty much a known issue.
    If your machine is trying to do H.264, you probably do not meet the minimum requirements:
    For viewing 640x480 standard definition (SD) H.264 video:
    (Windows)
    * 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium class or better processor�
    * At least 512MB of RAM
    * 64MB or greater video card
    * Windows 2000 or XP

  • Quicktime Buffer Overrun Error On Vista!!

    I keep getting a buffer overrun when trying to open quicktime or itunes! I've tried everything: updating, reinstalling, repairing, using an older version.. all to no avail. I can't stand it anymore! I haven't been able to update my ipod in months and I'm going crazy! Does anyone know any other solutions other than the ones listed above? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Quicktime Buffer overrun C++ error/ RUNDLL errors

    when i try to run quicktime, i get the error:
    Buffer overrun detected!
    +A *buffer overrun has been detected which as corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.*+
    and sometimes a RUNDLL error. I do not know how to fix this, and i really want to use my itunes.......

    I too was getting that "buffer overrun" problem - I'm using xpsp2. Instead of scrambling for a third party fix, I just uninstalled and went to this link:
    http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=quicktime
    I then clicked on 7.1.0 and installed that version. It works like a charm.
    Here's one for iTunes too.

    Hey, if it's not broken, why fix it, right?

  • Quicktime Buffer Overrun Detected Error

    every time i close quicktime i ge the message "Buffer Overrun Detected":

    and unable to add movie to DvdIt - crashes immediately.
    did everything i know...
    please help!

    Same situation here. I've formatted, tried qt alternative, just about everything. Streaming in works, playing from disk doesn't.
    sometimes i'll get a jitter on audio playback. Does support the raid issue.
    I read somewhere that MS has a patch available for an issue stemming out of DRM components of Vista causing slow disk access to some media files. You actually have to call them to get the patch.
    Some think the patch here:

  • Quicktime Buffer Overrun Detected Error with Vista

    I cannot play .MOV files successfully without the video pixellating and eventually stopping with a dialog box indicating a C++ Runtime Library message.
    Is there a solution for this? Is this a known problem for which no solution exists yet? All the threads I've seen on this topic don't guide me to a solution.
    HP Pavillion dv6119us   Windows Vista   Quicktime 7.1.6

    okay, suspicion swings back to the nVidia componentry.
    Some customers using computers containing NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers may experience unexpected behavior when playing videos in iTunes on Windows Vista from a SATA hard drive. iTunes may unexpectedly quit or become unresponsive or the computer may unexpectedly reboot or show a blue screen. Standard IDE hard disks are unaffected by this issue. If your computer contains a standard IDE hard disk, you can copy your video files to that disk and play those copies of the files in iTunes or QuickTime Player. NVIDIA is investigating the issue.
    I went back to reread the iTunes technote. I do not understand why the people that own QT support don't reference this same piece of information since QT is the component clearly impacted. QT as a video player engine is used by both iTunes and Koday EasyShare.
    Will just have to wait for nVidia I guess...

  • 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.

  • Buffer Overrun Detected with Windows XP

    I downloaded the latest version of Quicktime. It looks like everything installed correctly with Qickttime, but I get a "Buffer Overrun Detected!" error window when I try to open it, and it sometimes causes Firefox and/or Internet Explorer to crash. Any ideas?
    I have tryed Uninstalling it then reinstalling it but that dosen't seem to help. I also have installed a buffershield but that dosen't seem to make a diffrence either.

    Bumping, I am having the same issues; however, it is just even trying to open quicktime. I am now having issues with itunes due to this. I am not able to uninstall it either.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    TY!

  • Quicktime 7.2 MS Visual C++ Runtime Library Error "Buffer Overrun Detected"

    HIGHLY DISSATISFIED just shelled out the $30 for Quicktime PRO and I can't use it.
    Please help when I attempt to run .mov files captured by my digital camera it begins to pixelate badly only a few seconds in and then stops completely and crashes giving me the error message "Buffer Overrun has been detected which has corrupted the programs internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated." The files play normally when other programs w/ .mov codecs installed are used such as Nero, WMP, etc. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate (64bit) with a 1.8 ghz AMD Turion processor, 2GB ram, NVidia graphics. I'm guessing some sort of issue with Windows Vista security and Apple's refusal to be compatible with it -- but I'm no expert.

    I'm considering upgrading to Vista. I'd like to see at least an "I don't know why our product is working" response to this question, please.

  • Quicktime problem "buffer overrun detected!"???

    sorry if thas has been posted a billion times recently, but i seriously am not that good with computers and can't seem to find a place for help with this. was hoping you guys here could at least point me in the right direction. Also, like i just said, I am not very handy when it comes to computers, so try to keep it plain and simple...
    with that being said, I have encountered this problem with quicktime recently, which in turn has caused itunes to not work either. i've tried searching for a fix for days now and have been unsecessful finding anything so far. I heard it has something to do with the new quicktime update not cooperating with some service pack update... im not sure
    I tried to delete quicktime but couldn't, now when i try to open quicktime... I get an error message reading :
    Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library
    Buffer overrun dtected!
    program C:\programfiles\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.
    thanks for any help in advance

    I had the exact problem, after I tried updating to the latest version of itune. Now my itune don't work. There are no graphics and no sound. When I open Quicktime it has the exact message "buffer overrun detected...The program cannot safely continue execution and must be terminated."
    I tried removing the quicktime program, restoring the computer to earlier dates, disabling my antivirus program first and downloading itunes on a disc and then updating the program. Nothing Works! I talked to a guy at apple support who said he's not allowed to help me since "quicktime is a free program" then referred me to article "302538" which says to disable some items using the System configuration Utility (msconfig) in windows XP. Tried it and it doesn't work either.
    Since this problem is happening to so many people, something is obviously wrong with the itune and quicktime program which is mandatory for my recently purchased $300 Ipod. I've already wasted countless hours trying to resolve this problem with very little support from Apple. Apple needs to address and fix this problem.
    Please let me know how to resolve this problem! Thank you!

  • Buffer Overrun Error When Updateing QuickTime

    Hi all,

    Buffer overrun detected!
    Program: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe

  • Quicktime 7.1 buffer overrun when trying to get info from an Indeo 4.4 AVI

    Surprisingly Quicktime7.1 can play one of my Indeo video 4.4-encoded Windows .AVI File. It plays and exports flawlessly but when I want to use Get Info the player (or maybe one of the QuickTime DLLs) crashed with a VC++ Runtime Error: Buffer Overrun. All other QuickTime file don't have this problem.

    This is what when the situation happens.
