"The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie."
The movie files in question are .wmv files and they work just fine on my Mac. These movie files produce the same error while logged into a different user account on this iMac. The movie files will produce the same error when opening them as an attachment within Mail and also as a stand-alone file out on the desktop. I've done a Get Info and forced these files to open within all apps mentioned above to no avail.
I've even gone so far as to remove/uninstall ALL QT files and app., and then reinstall a brand new version of QT via Apple's web site.
It's somewhat obvious that it's some corrupted file within either the System folder or the root level Library folder. Repairing disk permissions lends no help whatsoever as well.
Any thoughts folks?
Thanks much, Grampa Doodie.
