I am a little slow getting around to this but I followed your advise and uninstalled both QT and QT Alternative, rebooted and then installed the latest version of QT Alternative. I used Revo Uninstaller for the first time and had a few anxious moments as it asked for permission to remove registry entries, etc. It also listed all files and folders and asked permission. I did choose to leave all the Java entries alone. I had read the instructions but I honestly was not at all sure I was doing it right. Are you familiar with Revo Uninstaller? I think I can go back and remove the entries in Control Panel Add/Remove Programs too but I have not done that yet. Quick Time is still listed in the Add/Remove and it seems it should not be. System Restore points were established all along the way by Revo so hopefully I can undo any damage I might have caused. Feeling insecure!!!
