Quicktime causes other applications to fail and will not repair or uninstal

Hi,
After upgrading to the newest version of Quicktime some of my software has stopped working. I found the problem though. It only happens with software that is dependent on Quicktime. Some of my video editors and Flash 8 have stopped working because when they go to load a Quicktime file they crash. This usually only happens when starting the program. In the Microsoft error report it shows the Quicktime module getting loaded on every application that doesn't work anymore. So I know it is Quicktime.
Here is the problem though. Quicktime fails to even start up. It just fails with a error and doesn't even show the Windows error report for it. Quicktime will not uninstall or repair also, so I can't remove it and then try to install it again.
Here are the errors from the installer. These errors are after a repair or a removal attempt. The installer will not give me the option to install since QuickTime is already installed.
Error Message
The installer encountered errors before the requested operations for QuickTime could be completed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think all I need to do is find out some way to completely remove QuickTime so it can reinstall properly.

I followed the removal instructions in this post - http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=3366434 .
Thanks!
I got QuickTime removed and my applications are working again. Now I can edit again in Macromedia Flash.
But right now I'm going to try to install QuickTime again. Hopefully it doesn't break my applications again. I downloaded a fresh copy from the site just in case I got a bad download. Fingers crossed everyone.

  • Hyper-V Host displays error "Automatic Reapir Failed" and will not start after Power Outage

    I have a single Dell PowerEdge configured as a Hyper-V host running Wink12 R2 Preview as a Native Boot VHD and hosting about a dozen VM's. We had a break in the power, just a lights on lights off, but it was enough to shut the machine down and trigger restart.
    But the machine won't restart--instead it displays a message "Automatic repair Failed" and none of the Advanced repair options work to get the host back online.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Hi MJMurphy,
    Sorry for the delay , it seems likely a disk problem cause of unexpect interrupt .
    Please boot the host from OS ISO and  try to copy the VMs' VHD files and any important data to a safe place (such as external USB)via command prompt mode  .
    (perhaps you need to prepare raid driver if you have a raid controler  )
    Using diskpart --> list volume to check the status of disk partion or you can contact the hardware vendor to check it .
    Hope this helps

  • HP C309a Alignment Fails and Will Not Print Color

    Hello,
      My C309a has had very light (infrequent) usage. It simply will not pass alignment or print in color. Could these two problems be related? I do like this printer as it does print on printable CDs/DVDs and as far as I know there are no AIOs on the market that do this. Would anyone please help?
    Best Regards,
    Startoker

    According to this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02435884&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    new or old 564/564XL should all work on older printers (printheads) made before September 2010. Maybe the printhead is for newer models? and the new cartridges have an older date? Anyway, check the date on the cartridges, if the date is later than 9/2010, they should work, and I would suggest you return the printhead if no color is printed. If the dates on the cartridges are older than 9/2010, maybe the printhead is for newer model, I would try get newer cartridges or have them replace with the correct printhead.

  • Firefox screen saver starts to load, but fails and will not close. To get my computer back I have to do a "control/alt/delete. Why?

    I do not know which version I am using - I am truly computer illiterate. You will need to tell me what information you need, and how to find it. Sorry.
    At about the same time as this developed, I lost the ability to continually see the tool bars at the top and bottom of the screen- as if the page was too big for my screen. Don't know if they are connected problems.

    Try ( alt + cmd + esc ).  Gives you a menu of running applications, and a chance to "Force Quit".

  • HP SELLS DEFECTIVE PRINTERS AND WILL NOT REPAIR or LOOK AT THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

    I purchased an OfficeJet Pro K5400 and liked how fast it printed.  I bought several to use at home, office, and college student.  I kept an extra one, unopened, in the box. Anotther printer I was using stopped working.  I opened the NEW
    OfficeJet Pro K5400.  It was carefully set up.  The PRINTER NEVER WORKED!
    THOUGH THE PRINTER WAS NOT OPENED UNTIL I TRIED TO INSTALL IT HP WOULD NOT EVEN OFFER TO LOOK AT IT TO FIND OUT ITS DEFECT.
    I JUST PURCHASED an EPSON.

    Tthe warranty starts on the date of purchase. It doesn't matter when you actually open the box for the first time, the purchase date is what HP Support must follow for warranty entitlement.
    While I am an HP employee, I am not a expert on all our products. If I offer advice, I'm not speaking for HP on how to solve an issue, but I'll do my personal best to help you.

  • Updating podcasts causes my iTunes to fail and close

    When I update my podcasts, whether manually by using the refresh button or allowing the program to go update, it causes my iTunes to fail and close. I have tried multiple times, closing and restarting, killing it in Task Manager and restarting, rebooting the PC, and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I do get a generic "ITunes has encountered and issue and will close now. Windows will notify you if there is a solution" message, but that's it.

  • When I open iTunes, it will not allow me to preview or download TV shows. The preview and download options are gray and will not let me view them. I have the latest Quicktime so I don't know what's wrong

    When I open iTunes, it will not allow me to preview or download TV shows. The preview and download options are gray and will not let me view them. I have tried installing the latest Quicktime but it tells me that I have to do software update and when I do, Quicktime does not appear to need an update. I have no idea what to do

    Click on your preference and check the Parental tab for possible restrictions.  Open iTunes, then click the iTunes menu, select preferences after the window opens click on the Parental icon, take a look at the content restrictions section.

  • Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud

    Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud. I am trying to sync fonts and the install is not working. The adobe application manager will open on its own and not allow the creative cloud app to install. I do have other creative cloud products installed however the creative cloud installer icon is not appearing in my toolbar nor does creative cloud show up as an app. I get an error message that I must have creative cloud installed when I try to sync fonts via the type kit to photoshop.

    Hello ducky,
    as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

  • I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:
