qttask.exe-no disk

[Guest]

After upgrading from windows 98 to XP, an error box pops up when booting with the heading qttask.exe-no disk. It says: There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive\device\harddisk1\dr2. I must select "Continue" three times before it disappears. Any help is appreciated.

It's an Apple Quick-Time file. See:

I have removed Quick Time from my system and still get the qttask.exe-no disk error box popping up when booting. How do I re-install Quick Time when I don't know how I got it in the first place. I know I have no disk for it. Anybody got an answer?

Hi

Quicktime may have been installed by a 3rd party program. You can install/re-install Quicktime from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

First, a little history: When Windows XP dropped support for Netscape-style
plug-ins, Apple added the qttask utility so that users with older versions
of Quick Time, which relied on Netscape style plug-ins, could still view
Quick Time content. Quick Time is freely available on the Internet, and
re-distributors don't care whether the versions they distribute are cleaned
up. They just want to sell you their content.

You probably agreed to have Quick Time installed on your computer in order
to view some multimedia content. We've got to read the fine print whenever
we download something.

The only way to get rid of qttask that really works is to 1) delete the
executable (qttask.exe) and then 2) remove its reference in the registry.
Annoying? You bet. Business as usual on the Internet? Yep.

I got this message after installing the iomega software for the Zip10
parallel onto a PC already running XP Pro. Uninstalling Iomega did no
remove the problem but I noticed (even after reboot) that there was
process being run (AppServices). On further digging I discovered tha
this was being loaded from the Iomega folder that was created when th
Zip100 was installed - in other words, the usual Uninstall problem tha
they usually do not completely clean up themselves after uninstalling.
I traced where Appservices was loaded in the registry and deleted it.
NO MORE MESSAGE - DIDN'T NEED TO REMOVE QUICKTIME.
