[QUOTE="Mitcherooney, post: 707014, member: 17503"] Hello again. Well, last night I downloaded and installed QT (Version 6.5.2) on the Windows partition. My Canadian friend uses XP. She's in a bit of tiswas - off to a wedding and wasn't able to let me know what version of IE she's on, but at a guess, it will be IE7. Also because she's rushing madly to get out the door, I can't find out if if she's got QT or not. I did check using both Firefox and IE on my Windows machine, but no joy on either. If I click on the QT player shortcut I get the following messages: [ATTACH=FULL]9181[/ATTACH] Instead of QT is there not some all singing and dancing format that both Mac and Windows users could employ - I'm thinking of the majority of Windows - clearly there's more of them - which they could view a movie without having the complication (?) of downloading additional software in order to view a very basic web page? Reading this back, perhaps I should attempt to reinstall QT as you said at outset. Right, I've done that and no error message this time! But, still no joy. Sound but no picture. Very frustrating. Eureka! I've just resurrected and old Windows only machine - also running Win 2000. So far I've only checked it using Firefox. But it works! So clearly it's a Parallels issue. So maybe I'm on the right track at last. I should have acted on your first suggestion. So thanks for your time and effort. Cheers M [/QUOTE]
