Quicktime

I have just installed Quicktime 5.0.2 on a Windows 2000 Pro machine. After I installed Quicktime and whenever it is launched I noticed that the close, maximize and minimize icons on the top right corner of every application is grayed out. After restarting the PC it goes back to normal. It also runs very slow when I try to view a video file. Sometimes it does not respond. The computer I am using is a Compaq Deskpro P866. It has 256 MB of RAM. Any one know what may be causing this problem?

 

This is not a direct answer to your question-but I am drawing your attention to a problem that can occur and this maybe affecting things in some ways.

Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, versions 5.5 SP2 and 6.0 no longer support Netscape-style plug-ins, such as the plug-in installed as part of QuickTime 5.0.2 and earlier versions. Consequently, Windows customers using these versions of Explorer may be unable to view QuickTime content in the browser. Mac users and Netscape users are unaffected,

To restore compatibility, Apple has provided an ActiveX control. Please visit http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/qtcheck/ where you will be prompted to download and install this control if you do not already have it.
