I don't know if this is the place for this thread, but I was wondering if anyone else was having problems running Quicktime 5.0 with Windows XP. My system used to be able to run quicktime movies but since I upgraded from 2000 to XP I have haven't been able to watch trailers, etc. with quicktime and I often get the Blue Screen of Death and have to reboot. Any ideas?

Quicktime 5 works fine with my Windows XP. My XP install was from scratch, not an upgrade. I'm assuming when you say "since I upgraded from 2000 to XP" that means you did an upgrade install from 2k rather than a fresh install on a blank hard drive. Upgrade installations often have problems with apps and/or hardware drivers.

No, I actually deleted and reformatted my hard drive before installing Windows XP fresh. I wonder if Download Accelerator has anything to do with it?

You could always try downloading it without download accelerator and see if it works...

With XP you need 5.02. It works just fine . . . trailers and all! :)
