Quicktime crashes!!

Can anyone help me? I recently updated quicktime using the software update, but now it does not open. My Mac just gives me the "unexpectedly quit" notice. So I reinstalled quicktime 6.5.2 but it still crashes. I am using an iBook G3 800mhz running OS 10.2.8. Any help would be great as i use quicktime quite extensively.

Happy New Year by the way!

Locate the QT preference and plist files and trash them. Then re-try.

com.apple.Quicktime.Plist file is located in /library/Preferences.

QT preference file is located in /Users/YOURNAME/Library/Preferences.

Trash those files and reopen Quicktime to see if that works.

Unhappy Quicktime still does not launch : (

Hi There,

I tried the above to no aviail. The com.apple.Quicktime.Plist did not exist and I have also tried deleting any mention of Quicktime 6.5.3 on my mac and re-installing it then repairing permissions. Still no luck.

I have also tried using Onyx but this then froze during the scanning and I had to force quit it and since then that application will not launch either....aaaaargh!

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
