I don’t know about anyone else, but ever since I updated to the latest version of iTunes I’ve been having a really wonky Quicktime experience. It started out with Firefox crashes, but pretty soon if I tried to view a movie in the standalone player, it would freeze if you tried to pause/play or do a video scrub.
Through trial and error the following fix worked for me (Windows XP, SP2).
- • Install the latest version of iTunes
- • Uninstall just Quicktime
- • Download the Quicktime 7.0.3 player (7.04 is buggy, 7.0.2 isn’t compatible with the newest iTunes).
So for now iTunes is happy and Quicktime isn’t crashing.
