Quicktime 5/6 won't doesn't like my XP Pro SP1

Hi,

Never had a problem with Quicktime previously, but just installed a new AthlonXP 2000+ and new motherboard, reinstalled XP, downloaded SP1 and downloaded Quicktime 6 so I could watch my exclusive Who videos from the Ultimate Collection CDs...

Problems! I keep getting this message when I try to start Quicktime:

"The application or DLL C:\Windows\System32\Quicktime.qts is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette"

Then this one straight after:

"Quicktime failed to initialize. Error# -2903. Please make sure this Quicktime is properly installed in this computer"

A disclaimer first, I have run a search and but i could find no conclusive follow ups.

This is driving me nuts. I have repeatedly installed/reinstalled versions 5 and 6, always the same.

Any ideas?

I am dying to watch these vids!

have you redownloaded quicktime? maybe from various sources? (cnet etc)

May be you should try deinstall the QT in a cleaner way. may be it left something in your Xp or REG then even if you reinstall QT, it will still use the information left. try to find something on the offical seit of apple.

Try downloading the full (Offline) installer for your OS.
