Hello,

This sounds a lot like what happened to me with Windows Live Messenger 
right after updating to SP3. It would try to install an update and crash 
the install, and only then start Messenger after the install was crashed.

The solution was to uninstall Messenger and re-install the new version 
from Microsoft's download site. You might try to uninstall Quicktime and 
reinstall the new version clean.

Later, Ray Parrish
