OT: Could not load or find QuickTIme ActiveX Cntrl

Nathan_Shane wrote on 5/11/2007, 7:17 AM

Okay, I had Vegas 7.0e working fine, then I decided to update QuickTime to the latest vs. 7.1.6 and now Vegas has issues with opening QT files and shuts down with an error. And anytime I try to launch the QT Player, I receive an Error 46: Could not load or find QuickTIme ActiveX Control.

I've tried repairing and uninstalling QuickTime, and even rolled back to vs. 7.1.5 and the issues still exist.

I am running Vista Home Premium, but that's not the issue here because Vegas 7 and QT 7.1.5 were both working flawlessly before doing the update to QT 7.1.6 and now they both have issues. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I've searched the internet looking information about installing QuickTime ActiveX but can't find anything specific on how to do that. What am I missing? I like using QT Pro from time to time outside of Vegas, but now they both got issues, but I'm thinking the Vegas issue is probably directly related to the QT issue.

I can't offer much help but ACTIVEX is normally used in your internet browser to load the plug for Web videos.

This might offer some help

Apple has some links to the effect of "Using Quicktime with Vista? How's that working for you?" I noticed yesterday that Apple doesn't list vista as a supported operating system.

You're out on the frontier with Vista, I'm afraid. It looks like quicktime is problematic with Vista and I'd be hunting down solutions outside this forum.

I just loaded it (7.16) on XP PRO not 20 minutes ago and it works fine.

Yes but that's not Vista.

I have the exact same problem, and have had it since installing QT on Vista a couple of months ago. I've searched and I don't think there are any solutions online.

The only way I can open MOV's (outside of Vegas) is by dragging them into IE.

Dbl-clicking them produces the error you're getting.

Well, I guess there are others having the same issues I have then. I did email customer support at Apple about this QT issue. I think that since QT is not yet "specifically" compatible with Vista, then we're left without any hope for QT or Vegas and QT media until Apple gets us a new version.
