Damn thee Quicktime!
I don't know what I clicked (or didn't click), but flash (.SWF) files and some other things (like video in Google Video), are broken on my internet browser. What I currently see is the blue Quicktime "Q" with a question-mark, like it thinks the file(s) is Quicktime-related but it doesn't know what to do with it/them.
The problem seems to be that Windows is associating Flash with Quicktime instead of Shockwave or Macromedia. I checked the MIME settings and its not clicked. Removing Quicktime yields an error message saying I'm missing the Quicktime plug-in. I also tried uninstalling my browser, Quicktime, Macromedia Player and Shockwave, then resetting the computer, reinstalling and resetting again. Nothing works so far. Any ideas? Jam it back in, in the dark.  "I reject your reality and subsitute my own!" |

Ya know the same idea came to be as I went to bed. If it works, I'll let you know.
Double Post: Didn't work. The problem lays within my internet browsers (Mozilla-Foxfire & Internet Explorer both will not play flash) There's nowhere I can't reach. "I reject your reality and subsitute my own!"

Still not working... I tried a system restore and that didnt help either.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. "I reject your reality and subsitute my own!" |

I'm not sure where 'About Plugins' is, but according to Options>Downloads>Change & Edit Actions... SWF is suppose to be opened by Macromedia Flash Player.
Also, Flash is not clicked/checked on Quicktime's settings. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? "I reject your reality and subsitute my own!" |

It is being associated with Quicktime.
Now... How do I UN-associate it? I was speaking idiomatically. "I reject your reality and subsitute my own!" |

Well NOW it works... Here's the thing, the last time I uninstalled quicktime in any form, I got an 'error' sound and that little pop-up telling me the plug-in was missing. Hopfully its a permanent fix and I wont relive this frustration when I shut off my computer tonight.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? "I reject your reality and subsitute my own!" |
