I took Quick time out of my machine because of that. I did the same thing you did. I had something I needed to watch. I took it out as soon as I was done. The problem is that it isn't easy to remove. I forget how I did it now unfortunately.

Hopefully there is a way around this problem!

I had to make windows media player the default player to play the avi file. the problem is with quicktime, I don't know of a way to change file type associations. if you can find out how to change the file types in quicktime, you could disable the association. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Kaufman" <tomca...@comcast.net> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2014 11:21 PM Subject: RE: Reposting A Question > Gary: I think I got to the right page you are telling me to go; problem > is > that Winamp (that's what II want as my default player) isn't there!
