changing player settings (stupid Apple!!!)

[Brian Cha]

Hey guys, I downloaded apple's quicktime, and it wouldn't play movies, games, or anything of the like, so I decided to uninstall it. Unfortunately, there was no uninstal, so I decided to delete it because everything I try to do automatically opens onto quicktime. Bad move. It STILL tries to open onto quicktime, so I tried to reinstall it. It didn't work. Then, I tried to fix it, and that didnt work. Base line is... How do I get my computer to either get rid of quicktime or how do I change my comps settings so the games/movies are opened by something else, like windows media player or realplayer, or something???

QuickTime is bad but Real Player is worse. I recommend avoiding both at all cost.

If APple don't supply a clean up tool try system restore to get rid of it.

If you want to change the program used to open a file either right click the file, left click properties and use the 'change' button to select the program.

Or

Open the application you want to use and configure the known file types to open as the default setting.
