Quicktime problem

OK, a lot of you guys are embedding videos, and when I open the post, I don't see them
What I get is a white box with the "quicktime" blue "Q" in the center, with a white question mark superimposed on it..
a couple times I have gotten a pop-up box saying QT needs to install additional software and then directed to DivEx's website, but installing the DivEx viewer doesn't solve the problem..

any suggestions? I updated to QK 7.3 recently, but have had this issue long before that.....
I am refering to videos like Britt posted here:

I have had the same problem. Try going to add/remove programs and uninstall QT. Than go to their website and do a new install. Works for me.

Just thought of something. Youtube uses Adobe flash player. Check these links for a free copy.

Thumbs up Quicktime

This may or may not help but I find eveything works faster and better with Mozilla Firefox as a browser instead of Internet Explorer. My daughter has a labtop and thought it was really slow and had issues with locking up until she finally tried the switch, she is a very happy camper now. Good luck

Chrisreyn: I noticed in the help area of YouTube that they say to make sure QT is not your default player or you wont be able to view videos. Maybe thats what is happening with you. Just a thought.
cjdakota: I have Firefox, IE and netscape. I agree, Firefox is a much smaller program so it does seem to run faster on lower processing speed computers. Overall, I still prefer IE on my desktop (but I dont know why).

Dang, wish I was better with that stuff. Only thing I had experience with was when QT decided to be the default player. While reinstalling it I remember telling it to not be the default player. Since then I have seen how to change the default in the YouTube help section without a reinstall. Sounds like your problem is different. Make sure to let us know if you get it fixed.
