macromedia players flash : Flash conflict with Quicktime

This isn't exactly a Flash Player problem, however, it is preventing me from
seeing any and all Flash videos. Instead they are replaced with the Quicktime
logo with a question mark superimposed. Quicktime is somehow trying to read the
videos and fails all the time. I fiddled with Quicktime's settings to
disassociate it from any and all video formats but it continues to try and read
Flash videos. I even uninstalled Quicktime and when I tried to see videos, they
are just blank spots on my browser. I have reinstalled Flash Player, but it
just shows a quick progress bar reinstalling files, it doesn't seem to go
through the entire process. In fact it does nothing to fix this problem at all
because Quicktime continues to try and read Flash videos.

This is sort of a Quicktime problem and I have posted a message like this on
the Quicktime forums at Apple, but this is also a Flash problem it seems. Is
there anything I can do to get Flash Player to read Flash files and Quicktime
to read whatever it should be reading?

I'm using Windows XP and I have the latest version of Firefox as my browser.

Maybe your the setting has been changed when Quicktime was being
installed.
Choose the flash video's playing mode as your flash player.
Hope it helps .

have you tried using the IE that's on your machine to see if the problem is Qt
and/or Flash based?

If this still happens, you might have a default setting that chooses Qt
instead of Flash. Trying "right clicking" on the file you want to
open/play/read and select "open with" and then "Flash" from the list.
