problem with XP and installing quicktime .mov player?

[Jason Pope]

Hi
|
| Wonder if any of you guys can help me out there.
| I've been trying to install Quicktime Movie Player on my machine,
| running XP, and I get an error message:
|
| "The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\System32\Quicktime.qts is not a
| valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation
| diskette.",
|
| Any idea how I can get around this one, is it cos there's a conflict
| somewhere?
|
| I'd love to be able to view .mov files again, can anyone help?
|
| Thanks in advance
|
| Jason
