after trying to uninstall quicktime 7, i have been unable to reinstall it
or
open itunes. when i initially uninstalled quicktime, i noticed that the
icons were still present in my program list, so i went into windows
explorer
and tried to delete the program folder. it would not allow me to delete
the
folder, even though i had already technically uninstalled the program, and
now i am unable to reinstall quicktime or open itunes. the same error
report
prompt comes up and asks me if i want to send it or not. is there anyone
that can help?

Seems it didn't all uninstall. Go to Start/Run and type msconfig and click
OK
On the screen that opens select the Startup tab. Go down that list and
uncheck anything to do with Quicktime or iTunes. Reboot.
Search for and get a free app called EndItAll. Run it and choose to Kill All
Processes (it won't kill the necessary ones to keep Windows running). Now
you should be able to delete the program folder. Reboot.
If that doesn't work post back in this thread.
