You can use both at a time however When you install QuickTime, or change your QuickTime settings, it may take over handling of Flash files. However, this can be fixed quite easily. To stop QuickTime from handling Flash files, do the following:

  1. Close Mozilla (or Firefox)
  2. Open the QuickTime Control Panel
  3. Select "Browser Plug-in" from the dropdown menu
  4. Open up the MIME Settings dialog
  5. Make sure "Flash file" is not selected. This is listed under Miscellaneous.
  6. Click OK, and close the QuickTime Control Panel
  7. Remove the file pluginreg.dat from your ProfileFfolder This file will be recreated next time you start Mozilla
  8. Remove npqt*.dll from your Mozilla or Firefox plugins folder. These files are not required, and can cause problems when QuickTime is upgraded
After doing this, you may need to reinstall Flash Player. These instructions should be the same for both Windows and MacOS X, with the exception of the last step.

Can't download movies or watch u tube.

Is your flash version up to date? To watch movies on iTunes (if that's what you're doing) you may need quicktime. But to watch youtube videos, you need to always keep your flash version current. Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to download the latest one.

Friends pictures don't show and can't get to friends farms to fertilize crops, and everything is very slow but only on farmville, cafe world, ect are fine

If i am right, you are telling about the Neighbor's Picture on the Farmville. This is actually not a big problem but plug-ins problem, it'll be fine after you update the quicktime player ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ )and Adobeflash player ( http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=DXLUJ ). After you update this you'll be ask to restart the browser, so make sure that you are not downloading such as movies, songs, softwares etc.. when you are doing this or you'll loss all the partial downloads. If this doesn't solve the problem, in rare cases this is caused by the server problem, I had faced the same problem once when i was a big fan of the farmville but when i ask all my friends in my country, they were facing the same problem, but it was fixed after few hours.. Good luck.

I don't get an image when using my Gateway computer. Is there a specific piece of software like QuickTime or FlashPlayer that I need?

"Gateway" or bridge pages are an excellent means of funneling traffic to an area of your site that is important to sales or lead generation. The most important part of construction of bridge or gateway pages is the links to these areas! You must have them for this to work and increase traffic to that area of the web site.

I installed quicktime 7.6 and paid for my registration code. When I install the code and my name I get a blue screen that starts off saying,'If this is the first time you have seen this...

quicktime 7.6.4 is free unless you mean that you purchased the Pro version.

You should uninstall the quicktime, update windows, and then reinstall quicktime.

Either there is a conflict with windows or another driver

Techincal solution

Do you mean .omf and .mxf? On mac the souce files are quicktime. Audio, generally works with .aff the best but can use .wav also. Though that message seems to suggest it is an audio card problem. I'd check if you can record in other sofware programmes and maybe if you have an on board sound card as well as an external one (if using PC) turn the on-board on off in MSDos as it could be conflicting.

My yahoo messenger did not opend

Go Start,Control Panel, Add/remove Programs. Click on Messenger,click remove. This should reinstate the older version. If not, Reboot and download it here;

Yahoo 8.1: http://www.soft32.com/download_30.html

9 messenger is in Beta (testing) form and not working well. Stick to 8.1 until they work out the Bugs. Including people using 8.1 trying to message ones with 9 or reverse they are having compatibility problems.

Flash player 10 Does have conflicts,and 9's latest update 9.0.124.0 Can have conflicts with Yahoo and
is causing some Yahoo services to not load.use the link below for a download of Flashplayer #9.0.115.0 should work as it's older then last update. You have to remove the present flash player,(add/remove programs in control panel). reboot then download the older version.

Problem downloading Itunes on Dell P.C.

try the following procedure.

first, head into your start> control panel >Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.

next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/ (Copy ans paste the link in internet explorer)

next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:

Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925?viewlocale=en_US

now try to install itunes again. does it go through properly this time?

If not then also try installing latest windows installer software

(Sometimes an iTunes entry or QuickTime entry doesn't show up in cleanUp, in conjunction with a missing .msi message, if there's an older version of the Windows Installer on the PC.)
