quicktime keeps randomly uninstalling itself...

[MeanMeosh]

i have winxp installed on a new comp, and quicktime keeps uninstalling itself for some reason... well, at least i think it is. this has happened as a couple of times now. when i try to open files registered to quicktime, the "quicktime.exe cannot be found" box will pop-up and when i take a look at the folder where quicktime is installed (c:\program files\quicktime), all the files except for qttask.exe are gone. and i have to reinstall quicktime to get it back...

any suggestions?

Nope, not OT to computers.... at all.

Some kind of virus, maybe?

1. Does anyone else have access to your computer?
2. Maybe yoour System Restore kicks in and restores the system to before-QuickTimian days
3. Maybe you are looking in the wrong directory?
4. This time, install to a different directory
5. Reinstall Windows

Ok, if you REALLY want to do this:
download FileMon from SysInternals.com, and set up a filter to monitor what goes on in the QuickTime directory. You will find out who is messing with it.
