I seem to be having a problem getting Quicktime to work. I just downloaded V5.02 and when I go to sites that use quicktime this is what I get.

I have set all the settings in it so that it should work but it just doensnt seem to want to work.

Any suggestions???

that happens to me too.

at first, I just thought it was like loading the picture up, but nothing happens. so what I usually do then, is just save movie to my hard drive, and watch it that way.

sorry i couldn't help, hopefully that's an option for you though.

that happens for me in win98, and XP

how can I save it to the HD????? Its not a direct link to a .mov file, its a link the another page with the movie on it. I get that pic at the next page and then I cant download it or anything.

Right click the link, then "save target as" I think.

I've had nothing but problems with Quicktime. My solution was to try an uninstall it. Even then the only way I could really get rid of it was to reformat.

lemme check this out....brb

yeah, you gotta have a direct link. If the link re-directs, you get html, sorry.

I had that problem before as well!

I usually just do a "view source" on the page containing the QuickTime movie, then I use Getright or Download Accelerator Plus to download it to my hard drive.

In the source of the page, look for a references to a .mov file.

Hope this helps ya!

Yes I can do that, but that is kind of a pain each time I want to see a movie, but I will try that.

I would really like to find a way to get this fixed.
