Hi folks,
One of the respondents about QuickTime for Windows (triggered by the
thread below) provided the error trace, and it says that Quicktime
has expired. This is a known issue with older installs of QuickTime 7
for Windows.
Apparently Apple failed to update the expiration date on QT 7 for
Windows. It's evidently fixed with QuickTime 7.03.50, according to
people on the QuickTime for Java listserve, but you have to do one of
two things:
(1) Update to iTunes 6.0.1, which automatically updates QuickTime to
7.0.3
(2) Update from the QuickTime Control Panel or QuickTime player might
work, or it may be possible to download the updater manually. See
post below (from "andrea") from the listserve...
I haven't been running QT 7 for Windows, so I can't check this...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Jeff
