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?

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.
