You mean "little to nothing about using Windows". There is a difference. I grew up on Macs and used Mac and Solaris systems mostly at Carnegie Mellon. While the basics of Windows were pretty easy to pick up, you'd be surprised how many things people were astonished I didn't know about Windows when I started working full-time as a software engineer and had to use it as a primary system.
Macs give you a full range of Unix command-line options to work with if things go bad, and Disk Utility is pretty good at repairing things. Windows doesn't offer that much. I mean, there's the DOS shell, but that doesn't really offer anything different. What it does offer is rather cryptic, IMO.
Download this tool from Symantec now so that if you catch it you can remove it easily.

No, I always eat oatmeal for breakfast.

So it's April 1st and the internet's still here...
Reminds you of all the Y2K hysteria, doesn't it?
I don't know how it is now, but the last time I fiddled with it it was true as toasted turds.(And besides that, come on... he thinks you can't install QuickTime without iTunes?)
That has never been true.
Indeed.I don't know how it is now, but the last time I fiddled with it it was true as toasted turds.(And besides that, come on... he thinks you can't install QuickTime without iTunes?
That has never been true.
I don't have iTunes, and I've been running Quicktime for years.
I tried installing quicktime maybe 2 or 3 years ago, and it wouldn't install without iTunes. WOULD NOT.
I'm pretty sure I know how to download and install software. I do it often enough.
Edit - whatever the issue used to be, it seems to be gone now. I just uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime seems to still be in place. Begone, foul Apple software, and sully my PC no more!

They always offered a combo download that contained both. It sounds like that's what you had.
So your problem wasn't with installing, it was with downloading the thing you actually wanted.
Which files? Are these things online you can point me to?
That's never happened to me. Every such file I've tried to play, has always done so quickly and easily. No slowdown at all.
Any of the Star Trek trailers will do as fine examples. Plays 480p just fine, but at 720p and up the video gets too choppy to watch. However trailer 3 in .avi format plays just fine at 720p in Windows media player. I'm pretty sure it isn't my hardware, either - I've got a 3 GHz Pentium 4, a gig of ram, and an ATI Radeon video card with 256 megs of memory.
I thought it was a new sex act.

Not on my system, it doesn't. And mine has a slower microprocessor than yours.
