IE 8 and XP Pro

Anyone else having trouble with IE 8 and Quicktime? When I go to this QT
test page, it always says QT is not installed properly and refuses to run
the test:

www.apple.com/quicktime/troubleshooting/

Does this page work for anyone else?

I'm (now) on Quicktime 7.6.2 (1324)

Bruce.

Works fine here (IE 8 on WinXP SP 3.)

Did you install the ActiveX control when prompted?

Try:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/flamecitron/

If the yellow infobar shows up at the top, you need to click on it and
elect to run the AX control for Quicktime. Then see if the movie plays.

Hello,

1) Start Internet Explorer,
2) go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/troubleshooting/
3) go to the Tools menu (if the menu bar does not appear, hit the Alt key on
the keyboard)
4) click Manage Add-ons.
5) Ensure 'QuickTime Object' under 'Apple Inc' is Enabled.
6) OK

If I click on the 480p button, quciktime launches and plays normally.
However, the troubleshooting page still crashes IE every time.

It maybe because the 480p launches the Quicktime app, while the other
troubleshooting page has ebedded QT that doesn't launch the app.

I can't go to that page as it causes an immediate IE crash.

However, if I use a different page, in the manage Add-on, both QuickTime
Object and QuckTimeCheck class are there and enabled.

Bruce.

Hello,

Try disabling all other add-ons except for QuickTime Object

Ok, I fixed it. When I did a View Details on the crash, it was crashing in
3ivx.dll which I believe is a codec that was installed as part of my Flip
camcorder. I uninstalled the 3ivx and now IE can display that page without
crashing.

Now I need to see if there is a newer version of 3ivx.

Thanks.
Bruce.

Don't go fancy on graphics quality. Just click on the small or medium
"standard" movies to see if they play okay.

And what would be "embedded QT"? The web browser (all of them) will
need a control to decode the media stream or content hence the need for
a codec. If you want QT content to display on your host, you'll need to
install their codec (whether from them or a purloined copy included in
other software, like Quicktime Alternative).

I had no crashes loading www.apple.com/quicktime/troubleshooting/. Did
you try disabling all non-Microsoft add-ons except Quicktime and then
retry that web page? Could be you have other 3rd party add-ons that
conflict with the Quicktime add-on. Add-ons are not just sometimes
incompatible with a new version of a web browsers. Sometimes they are
incompatible with each other.
