Vista x64 cannot run Quicktime

i have vista x64 and i have installed quicktime many times to try and solve this problem. When i click on quicktime to open, it says that "quicktime requires windows 2000 or later" and "please check compatibility mode and make sure it is deselected". Now i DO have compatibility mode deselected and it is still giving me this error. any help would be appreciated.

A lot of programs don't support the 64bit format... perhaps the QT you are trying to install is one of them? I think there's a 64bit version... forget what it's called

Cannot run quicktime

I downloaded Quicktime 7 (latest version I believe) straight from the Apple website (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/), installed it with no problems, and whenever I try to run the .exe I would get this error:
"Quicktime player has encountered a problem and needs to close", almost immediately.
I just restored my laptop, so it should be a fresh install. I'm using Windows XP. Quicktime never had any errors prior to the restore.
The reason I'm installing Quicktime is because apparently iTunes needs it, and the option to install Quicktime together with iTunes is bugged (iTunes would say it's missing files and cannot run), so I have to install Quicktime and iTunes separately.
Is there any solution to this? Thanks in advance.

many thanks.
The "fatal error" in this context has (recently) been indicating trouble with old, misplaced QuickTime componentry lurking about in your system.
(Whether or not the message is a symptom of that problem seems to depend on what version of old misplaced stuff is lurking and what version of QuickTime proper we're trying to install or uninstall ... but in recent times, there's been an uptick in fatal errors being caused by that.)
So let's try investigating that possibility first.
First we'll adjust some view settings 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 Local Disk C: (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "System32" folder.
What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

R&R Backups on Vista x64 cannot be restored on Windows 7 x64 with R&R 4.x?

Hello -
Have created a full backup with R&R on Vista x64 prior to clean installing Win 7 x64. Have installed the new version of R&R for Win 7. Plugged in my external usb drive containing the backup, but R&R refuses to see it. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michel

Cannot run Quicktime or iTunes - Data Execution Prevention

I have tried to install quicktime and itunes and when i run them windows vista home tells me that Data Execution Prevention has closed the application. I have removed itunes and quicktime and just tried installing quicktime - and i get the same error.
I tried turning off DEP for quicktime - but windows tells me that it cannot be turned off for Quicktime.
Any solution to this?
Thanks!

What are you doing when iTunes or Quicktime crashes? Does it crash on launch?
Have you ever installed a 3rd party Quicktime alternative -- i.e. you downloaded and installed Quicktime from a non-Apple source? (There are some codec vendors that repackage / redistribute Quicktime. I recommend only installing Quicktime from the Apple web site or Apple Update Software.)
When you uninstalled Quicktime, did you do the scorched earth version of the Quicktime uninstall -- where you uninstall, then run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility and then manually search for Quicktime files (particularly in your system folder) and delete them?
What I'm concerned about is that you have a partial, non-standard Quicktime install on your machine.
Do you have any third party iTunes plugins or Quicktime codecs installed?

Quicktime 7.2 under Vista x64

I am using iTunes 7.3.1 under Vista x64 Ultimate with no issues. However, Quicktime 7.2 doesn't work very well.
When I open .mp4 vidoes which run fine under Windows Media Player, Quicktime Player seems to stubmle.
I get the following errors:
-The video screen turns green
-Video stutters
-Audio seems to play ok
I am running on an AMD 3800 x2 with nVidia 7900GTO video card (using latest WHQL video drivers from nVidia).
Are there known issues with Quicktime with Vista x64?

I have the same issue with QT running on Vista. The new version of QT that just came only made things worse!!! Now the tv shows I purchased from iTunes shuts iTunes down when I try to view them. At first, I was getting the green screen, video stuttering, etc.
I tried ALL the recommended fixes:
- Changing the settings in QT to take off Direct3D
- changing the settings in QT to "safe mode"
- Updating my Nvidia graphics card driver
- Going into my bios to ensure my hard drive was not using the RAID array
- Uninstalling QT and reinstalling
This is DEFINITELY a QT (Apple) issue. They simply do not support Vista. I have already stopped purchasing video media on iTunes until QT is updated to run smoothly with Vista.
All that to say... you can search discussion boards all you want, but there is no real fix for QT to run smooth video (audio is OK) in Vista.

No Audio - External Speakers - Running VISTA x64 Ultimate

I have seen numerous references to this problem in the forum archives... but no solutions yet.
I run Vista x64 Ultimate natively on the Mac Pro - no VMware or other emulation software.
Everything works great EXCEPT audio: I have searched and searched and need an expert.
All OSX, Firmware, and Bootcamp drivers are up to date.
Realtek Audio doesn't not recognize the rear external audio port. I plugged in / out / in etc., nothing. All audio comes from the internal tower speaker.
My speakers use the standard analog jack, they are new Bose MusicMonitor speakers.
Things I have done:
Vista Audio Settings - all ok, all set to max, double checked - nothing.
New Realtek Audio Drivers - tried installing newer version - nothing.
Reinstalled Bootcamp Drivers - nothing.
Reinstalled Bootcamp Drivers (original disk) + Bootcamp Vista Drivers (new release) - nothing.
BTW - the speakers work just great under OSX - they produce awesome sound - so it's not a hardware issue.
Thanks - I hoping someone has discovered a solution!

P.S. I have the X-Fi Platinum.
I left that out in my original post.

Running Quicktime in Windows Vista

I have a four year old laptop with Windows Vista as the operating system. Since joining the support communities in August 2010, after buying the Ipod, I have never been able to view the support videos or run Quicktime without "run as administrator" being checked.
Something has changed. I can now run Quicktime or view the videos without any "Run as Administrator".
This could be a result of:-
EITHER Apple has issued an update to Quicktime - there was no definite indication of this
OR it could be the result of a reputable disk optimizer which I have installed to clean up all the "junk" on the hard disk.
I have never seen a solution to this problem - the main reason for viewing the discussions. It has been discussed many times and it has always been left as open problem.
It suggests that the problem is registry related, i.e. it is related to a registry error. I can't pinpoint which registry it was as there were so many errors detected.
Has anyone else seen this change, without having to optimise the disk?
Laptop, Toshiba, Windows Vista Home Premium, IE9, Ram 2GB.

Thanks for your reply. We have not been in a discussion before. I first posted the problem in August 2010 and received no response, other than someone telling me to repost to the correct place!
I watched a discussion of yours on this subject from around 25-10-2010, and stayed in the background.
I had many years at work interfacing with industrial microprocessors, and learned to "sniff" out problems from the early 1980s. Before that it was "simple" logic and analogue circuits. Most problems were nothing to do with the micro - or electronics - at all, but it always took the blame. Dealing in depth with personal computers is a different and more difficult approach.
The System Optimizer I am using is Norton Utilities 2011, so it's not just a "disk optimizer" even if it optimises information stored on the disk. The are no secrets these days, as there are other products available which will achieve the same results. The software may help to prolong the useful life of the laptop for another 2 years or so. It's cheaper option than buying a new laptop. The biggest improvement made was by increasing the RAM to the maximum which this machine can handle at 2GB.
I was never happy with the "run as adminstrator" situation, but now that ASC is a https site then things are more secure.
It's never clear exactly what a registry cleaner does, but it presumably works down a chain of commands until it reaches a dead end.
The next step will be to see what the current parameters of HKEY_CURRENT_USER......QUICKTIME PLAYER are set at and possibly revert to the old setting to see what has changed - possibly a risky procedure.

Cannot install Photoshop CS4 Trial on Vista x64

Hi everyone,
I got a big problem, I download the Photoshop Extended Trial Version and extracted it without any problem. But when I double-click setup.exe nothing happens. It seems to popup a window, but its gone every fast. When I open the Taskmanager I can see the setup.exe under processes, but nothing happens also after hours of waiting.

What I had tried beforce:
- Installing in safe-mode = same problem
- register jscript.dll myself = same problem
- Uninstall CS3 = same problem
- Using AdobeCS3Cleaner
- Using AdobeCS3Cleaner -> found nothing...
- delete last things of CS3 with TuneUp

Peter,
To avoid complications, I would have uninstalled the trial first, then run the Adobe clean-up script, followed by the installation of the full version using the default location.
This has both a 32 bit and a 64 bit component, installed as follows:
32 bit C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4
64 bit C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit*)
The 64 bit version will be the default on a 64 bit OS.
In your situation I would uninstall everything related to CS4, run the Adobe clean-up script and start again.
* Adobe should note that
bits have a small
b and Bytes have a big one!

Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing...vista 64 bit OS

I'm running on a Vista 64 bit HP computer, and I have been trying to download itunes for the past couple days and all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes...I have no idea what to do...i have looked around the forums for information and I guess I'm not the only one having issues using a 64 bit OS. Btw the 64 bit Itunes won't work either. It does the same exact thing...

all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes
I'd like to check for malware with that message, Nico. (With modern versions of iTunes, if files really were missing, iTunes would be much more likely to do a repair install of itself when you wen't to launch it, rather than returning the old-fashioned files-are-missing message.
Download and install the free version of MalwareBytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hours on My Lenovo.)

After the scan completes, find the log file for the scan, and paste the contents of the log into a reply here.

At that point you will be able to read the relevent installation guide, which will clearly state all prerequisites, including certified OS.

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT driver for Vista x64

Hello,
I have an issue with my new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz 17" that was released on the 5th of June, 2007.
It has NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT installed on it and I simply cannot find Vista 64 bit drivers for it.
I have tried the latest beta Vista x64 drivers (163.11) downloaded from nVidia's official website. I have tried several previous versions including 100.97 one, which contains drivers for 8600M GT model. But they don't work with me. All the driver installation programs allert the following error and quit:
'The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit'.
I also tried Vista 32-bit drivers for 8600M GT. The driver installation program claims the operation system is wrong and quits.
Anybody has the same issue?
Does a working driver of nVidia GeForce 8600M GT for Vista x64 exist at all?
MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Windows Vista nVidia GeForce 8600M GT

There was one Apple's presentstion where they boot into Windows Vista. So if you claim you can do it why do you forget about Vista x64 customers? I reckon it is because of Leopard that is coming. But it's not an excuse.
I'm currently working in Vista x64 and everything is fine except one thing, I cannot find a working graphics card driver and it is manufacturer's responsibility to provide it. Apple knew there going to be customers who will install Vista x64 on their computers and they at Apple didn't care about it because I guess it's a lame war between you know who.
So why you don't make everything perfect to attract even more Windows customers but instead you hint that you don't care about Vista x64 as you are getting your own 64-bit OS soon. So now they are forcing me to wait having been announced that I can use Vista. But isn't that kind of lame that it's slightly tardy? Why I should wait for Leopard launch if I was insured that Windows will work on my Macbook Pro? Because Apple claim you can run Windows. And don't say it's not official. Who else if not Apple made it possible to run Windows on Mac.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just angry that I cannot find a working driver.
