I have a thing on against people who whine about EXCEEDINGLY SIMPLE problems without understanding that they are simply indicating their own mental laziness.
The same energy you put into spewing out your emotions in that email could have been used to note that
a:
the quicktime page offers an install minus the iTunes, if you are smart enough to read whats in front of you. People who aren’t smart enough often bleat on about spyware, an issue that most users have been taking care of for 4 years now without being paranoid about viruses, another of my pet peeves. And hacks. ‘Your’ firewall likely reads false positives, and who cares, none of us are that freakin important, and if you don’t know how to back up a hard drive, you don’t have ANYTHING of worth on it anyway. b:
Ipods are for wankers.
c:
File associations:
you should never install ANYTHING except by custom installation. Make a habit of it. Quicktime and nearly every other media and graphic software offers association options during installation.
Again, wtf are you bleating on about? Your own ignorance? Sorry but you give others the impression its hard, but all you really do is make a hierarchy of whiners, and there’s enough of that in this farking world.
Which is me whining. 😛
d:
Yes, you should be back on firefox, what were you thinking?
e:
Glad you found a workaround. But god forbid you had to work for it. The only reason I know anything on computers is because of all the probs. Only way to learn.
Do you like learning?
I have a problem with dummies who cannot understand the posts:
I did custom install the "without itunes" file of course…………."and itunes on
every start " is what I said not on install. IN fact this is my complaint, I refused it on install and now it keeps asking me to put it on.
on EVERY start of QT it asks me if I want to install itunes!!!!!!and or upgrade to PRO
just to see a file it sucks
so no it is not my dumbness I am whining over
I also disabled the update features from auto but if you start the program it pops up again and checks the web and asks you EVERY time to install itunes AND I don’t have an IPOD either so why would I want it?
BUT the problem was caused by the IE7 install so it was a MS thing that fuxored me up
firewall has nothing to do with it …playing or not in the browser nor my virus protections I use a great and unintrusive software called ESET NOD
it is a KNOWN bug and being worked on as MANY MANY users of IE7 have the same issue
and therefore not caused by myself or the way I download or install
and if you read my link it is a registry change I was unwilling to risk messing around with
did not want to bother backing it up,
FYI I do have an auto backup of my entire drives using Acronis and as photography is how we make money over here
guarding my files is yes important and of value to me
you of the Ali G style website I have a thing about obnoxious music on webpages and crappy PS techiniques.
I do know how to avoid adware and have had to coach many unsuspecting noobs how to get rid of it. I don’t like companies to keep trying to load it up by default or continually bugging you to just because the web designer is using a different format file
I am discerning enough to know the difference myself. I also do not like Real Player for the same reasons and have quit installing it and never will. I agree about learning from mistakes and have been using comps since 1996 and learned many things the hard way.
As for laziness and learning, I did find the solution (which I posted and obviously you did not read it) after much hunting in MS data base and told you I am willing to wait for the patch because I do know how to play the files "manually".
I also found half dozen discussions on Apple AND MS working together to solve it. So if I know it will get a patch for a bad software I will wait for it to get fixed instead of changing my registry to an insecure state.
don’t ask me for any help with PS as I am so stupid I am sure you don;t need my advise
sorry I bothered to DL and comment on your cute but poorly executed PS work, it won’t happen again
welcome to PS NG trolls group
now I know why hecate quit coming here
~S~
Happy crappy.
I have several media players installed
I really despise QuickTime installs they try and add spyware and itunes on every start and their ridiculously stingy licenses can only be played in their brand ipod and only one device!
maybe because I disable all the auto updates crap every time you start the comp or program etc.
what is more annoying than an upgrade screen on every play of online content??
it also messes up the file associations royally when you install it had to put media player install over it to fix my comp back got some other players for odd codecs and to open certain DVD’s too so….
maybe time to go Firefox
or back to Netscape Navigator
till then the workaround is simple enough
