Don't worry about little things like that. Steve Jobs knows what's
best for your infidel WinDoze computer...

I hate Quicktime.

Every time I've installed it, something has gotten messed up.

I bought QT Pro as a quick avi editor - the damn computer hasn't work
correctly since I installed it.

Cool. I love that harbor.

We came in from offshore just south of Savannah at St Catherines Sound
and have been cruising north on the ICW last couple of days. This
enire stretch of coastline is fantastically scenic and a great area
for boating.

I really like that whole area. One of my son's friends Dad let me use
his Hydra-Sports CC for a couple of days in May - I ran around that
whole Charleston Harbor area and had a blast. Then we trailered down
to Beaufort/Paris Island area and he took me for a tour of that whole
area - Morgan's/Ladies Islands and other places.

I can't wait to get further down towards Savannah - I've heard the
inshore fishing is spectacular.

It's simple. You need to re-do the file associations the newly installed
programs stole.

Open Window's Explorer. Drop down the tools menu. Select folder options.
Select the "file types" tab. Scroll down to AVI. Highlight it. It will
say under the details section Opens with: Yours probably says something
other than Windows Media player. Click the change button and associate
it with Windows Media Player or whatever program you andt it associated
with. Then click OK OK OK as many times as it takes to close all the
windows.

That should do it for you.

Ok, friend of mine sent me an .avi this morning of a monster striper
he caught off of Martha's yesterday.

Since I upgraded Quicktime to Quicktime Pro and installed iTunes, I
can't open .avi files. The QT player will open, but it doesn't play
the video. I took another .avi with my cellphone camera and it won't
open or play that either - just a blank screen.

It also won't play in Windows Media. It will open, but the video
won't play. However I do get sound.

WTH? This all started with the upgrade and the new version of iTunes
- avi's used to play just fine and dandy in Windows. QT won't play
mov either.

The other issue is that all .jpgs now open in QT. I can't switch it
back to the Wiindows display.

Any ideas on why that happened?

And how to fix it?

Final comment - Microsoft isn't the Devil, it's Apple.

Not in the latest version of IE. It's in a completely different
place.

"Windows" Explorer, not "Internet" Explorer.

Too many Explorers, it gets confusing.

Do a search for this codex:
Combined-Community-Codec-Pack-2006-07-28.exe
That will play pretty much anything.

Thanks, but the last time I tried that, it screwed everything up worse
than the iTunes update.

Tom, if you figure it out let me know. I'm suffering the same symptoms on my
notebook after an itunes update. Actually mine was worse as I actually had
to do a system restore to avoid a bad memory references after the update.
The only way I can open .avi's is to right click and choose open with and
select Play With Internet Explorer.

I've been busy working on the new boat and haven't been online much. I've
had her out on Quinsig a few times and I think I've gotten most of the bugs
out...

.... but I'm waiting on some parts for the Powerwinch and I still have a few
hardware items to fix but I'm hoping to get out on the salt next week. The
fishing lesson offer still good?
