Quicktime wont engage:2000 or later Im xp

Ive installed quicktime7 but when i try to use it, the screen enlarges and a dialog box appears saying windows 2000 or later to run Quicktime. I have Windows xp. I disabled the compatability but it still WONT WORK. HELP!

Head back into the Compatibility mode tab for your QuickTimePlayer.exe.
Are any of the boxes (not just the compatibility mode box) checked in there? If so, try unchecking all the boxes and clicking OK.
Does your QuickTime start launching again without the compatibility mode message?

Quicktime requires Windows 2000 or later

I was getting the above error after running windows .NET updates on Windows XP. I installed and unistalled Quicktime and Itunesnumerous times trying to get rid of the message and get Quicktime up and running. Tonight I finally figured it out...Right click on the Quicktime Shortcut or Exe. Choose Properties/Compatability and uncheck the 'Disable visual themes check box'. Now try it again and wala quicktime player starts up as expected.

I also have the Buffer Overrun issue w/QT latest rev. on my Windows XP Op.sys. I have the latest updates on XP installed as well.
I can't uninstall QT. When I went to the properties as you suggest for the .exe I do not have the Disable Visual Themes checked, and I noted I don't see Windows XP as one of the options for for the drop down window for Compatability Mode. It only goes up to Windows 2000 on my drop down list, though I leave the compatability box unchecked also.
Mine still doesn't work after complete Virus Scans, Registry Cleanup, and attempts to reinstall or repair ITunes & QT. I still have the persistent Buffer Overrun issue. When I did check Disable Visual Themes as per par. above, I got a different error indicating I needed to uncheck the Compatability option in that dialogue screen.
Any ideas would be helpful as I'm unable to use ITunes for my IPOD at the moment, after preparing a number of files I wanted to upload for vacation.

Quicktime player requires windows 2000 or later

Hello, I can't use quicktime, it gives me the error " Quicktime player requires windows 2000 or later" and changes all my icons into super size. I have windows 2000 and I've disabled all in the compatibility tabs (as it requested) and this does not help. Any ideas as to what is wrong and how I can fix it. It used to work just fine until the newer version of Quicktime was downloaded.
Many Thanks

+Hello, I can't use quicktime, it gives me the error " Quicktime player requires windows 2000 or later" and changes all my icons into super size. I have windows 2000 and I've disabled all in the compatibility tabs (as it requested) and this does not help.+
With that one, try heading back into the Compatibility tab.
Are any of the *display mode* boxes checked? If so, uncheck all of those too, and click okay. (They can also cause that message, and having one of those selected is consistent with your icons/desktop resizing.)
Any better luck with the launch after that?

QuickTime Player requires Windows 2000 or later ERROR

I had been using QuickTime without a problem for several months, when all of a sudden I started getting an error that says "QuickTime Player requires Windows 2000 or later..." and QuickTime refuses to open. The strange thing is that QuickTime still works in my internet browser, it just cannot launch movies or open from my local machine. So, basically I guess the browser plug-in is unaffected. iTunes also works fine.
I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit. My graphics card is an nVidia 8800GTX. My Windows, graphics drivers, QuickTime and iTunes are all up to date. I have made sure Compatibility Mode is disabled in the QuickTime.exe properties.
Any idea what the issue could be?

I found the solution to my problem. It's actually pretty obvious, but I did have the "Run as an Administrator" option checked in the compatibility tab of the QuickTime.exe. I didn't think that could be a problem I guess, but when I unchecked it... QuickTime starting working again.
This might not be the solution for everyone with these symptoms but make sure NOTHING is checked in the compatibility tab.

Quicktime wont launch, at all on PC (VISTA)

Hi,
I've been searching most of the day to try and find out why Quicktime wont open on my PC (vista). Their is no error message, just when you click on it, nothing. I had purchased quicktime pro and was working fine for a couple of days, then I installed some dvd burning programs to try out and then the problem occurred.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, rebooted. I have also deleted my temp directories, uninstalled any programs that might have conflicting codecs, and all the programs I recently downloaded, restarting between each new trial. Still doesnt work. I rang Applecare but after being on the phone for about 40mins I was then told their was no phone tech support available for non-Mac users. Very frustrated. Can anyone assist?

Okay ... that's consistent with a QuickTime display preference having blown out. If that's what is afoot, we should be able to get past this by rebuilding your QuickTime preferences files. Unfortunately, they can be a bit tricky to track down on Vista or 7 systems. (Where they are located may depend on whether you're 32-bit or 64-bit too.)
You'll need to have show hidden files and folders engaged for this one too.
Close any QuickTime Player buttons in the Taskbar.
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your user documents are stored on.
Open the "Users" folder.
Open the folder with the name of the Windows User account in which the QuickTime Player isn't displaying properly.
Open the "AppData" folder.
Now the hunt for the QuickTime preferences begins.
Open the "Roaming" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player. Does it open properly this time?
If there was no QuickTime folder in \Roaming\Apple Computer\, or if the Player still doesn't open properly
Quit the QuickTime Player taskbar button again.
Go back into the "AppData" folder.
Open the "Local" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player again.
If there was no QuickTime folder in \Local\Apple Computer\, or if the menu has not been cleared
Quit the QuickTime Player taskbar button again.
Go back into the "AppData" folder.
Open the "LocalLow" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player again. Any luck this time?

"iTunes requires Windows 2000 or later"

I have just downloaded the new iTunes software and QuickTime software for my iPod Video, and they have both been 'Installed Successfully'. But when i try to open iTunes i get this message entitled 'QuickTime Unavailable':
"iTunes requires Windows 2000 or later.
Please make sure compatibility mode is disabled in the Compatibility tab of the properties for iTunes.exe."
Now my computer is a Windows XP, and i selected this when i downloaded the software. And i made sure that the Compatibility mode was off. I have got the newest version of QuickTime which came with the iTunes download, and have restarted my computer after downloading it as it said. I feel completely stuck. Any ideas why iTunes isn't running?

Okay, then that is the appropriate Windows OS & SP for iTunes to run correctly, it may be a installation error, I'd try going to the download page again, downloading it then when prompted click Repair. It'll repair all the missing startup files and such that iTunes needs to run. If that doesn't work, completely uninstall iTunes, install it again, and restart.

Itunes wont open without quicktime and quicktime wont work or uninstall

I have windows 7 and itunes and windows 7 have been working great for over 5 months but just recently itunes stopped working. i cannot open itunes and i cannot download the most recent version because i says that it needs quicktime. Quicktime is installed on my computer. in fact i can't get quicktime uninstalled. i can download previous versions of itunes and install them but they wont open. i've tried following posted suggestions of uninstalling with the windows uninstall clean up but when i reinstall it still wont work. i've tried the thing were someone said to delete all my temp files except there is one file that won't delete : FXSAPIDebugLogFile.txt and i can't stop it to delete it cause i don't know what it is. What the hooch happened and how can i get my itunes back???

I FIXED IT. Ok so I don't know if this will work for everyone but this is what i did. First i made sure I uninstalled all apple thingy's in the control panel uninstall then downloaded the lastest version of itunes install before i installed it i did a search for all quicktime thingy's (i know i'm not all technicall about it) on c:drive and went through and deleted them it gave me a small problem by not showing that they were deleting but i transferred them to the trash bin and deleted it all. then i started the itunes install and let it go (of course giving it wishfull hopefull thoughts) it opened and is working great so far. So before your go through the other stuff if the problem with the new itunes is that the quicktime wont install do this first.

Itunes nor quicktime wont open on windows 7

my itunes nor quicktime wont open i uninstalled and installed itunes i tried disabling bonjour i added a new users i did a virus scan i am all out of ideas i need major help

Many thanks.
I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those error-message-free launch failures for both iTunes and the QuickTime Player.)
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 options on the PC.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

I have a laptop using OSX 10.5.8, iTunes v. 10.6.3 and Quicktime 7.7. iTunes will not open. It says it requires QuickTime 7.5.5 or later. I've tried reinstalling each of them. No success. Don't know what to try next.

= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. One person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.
Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979 - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

Quicktime wont load because the installer thinks I have a newer level quicktime installed already.

quicktime wont load because the installer thinks I have a newer level quicktime installed already. Thus the newest level of iTunes and quicktime will not install, help... Thanks.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
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".
Restart the PC, and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

For some reason my itunes will not open because it says that I need Quicktime 7.5.5 or later which I have installed. Any suggestions?

I recently had my computer cleared out and for some reason I am getting an error when I try to open my iTunes. It says that I need to install Quicktime 7.5.5 or later which I have installed and I keep getting this error mesage. Any suggestions?
Also I am opporating MacOS 10.5 Do I have to buy the software from the store or can be be downloaded off the apple site? I have heard that you need the actual software from a retailer?

Hi, try this...
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

ITunes will not open, requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later.

I've just reset my iMac and reinstalled Leopard but when I try to open iTunes I get this error message; iTunes requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later. I've downloaded version 7.7 but still get the same message. I've read on here to download an earlier version of iTunes and then to update that but I can't find an earlier version from anywhere.
Any help would be very much appreciated..

Hi Dave. Many thanks for your response. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and then reinstalled them and now I can open iTunes. I now have another problem. The music that is on my iPhone that was imported from my iTunes prior to resetting my Mac seems to be unavailable for me to play. It doesn't show up on my iPhone when it's not connected. But when I connect it to my Mac all the songs show up under the music tab of my iPhone but they are all light grey and when I click one an exclamation mark appears next to it. I've tried authorizing my account but that doesn't do anything.
If you have any idea what the problem could be I would really gratefull.
