QuickTimePlayer.exe-Entry Point Not Found

Has anyone found a solution for the below:

The below happens when I launch Quicktime from my HP Windows 7 computer:

QuickTimePlayer.exe-Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point CFUniCharGetNumberOfPlanesForUnicodePropertyData could not be located in the dynamic link library QTCF.dll

The box stays on and will not go away until I do a hard drive shutdown.

Any suggestions?

That one is most commonly caused by an old copy of QTCF.dll lurking in a non-standard location on the PC.

Looking in the most likely spots for it.

In Computer, open your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
Open the Windows folder.
*If you have a 32-bit Windows 7,* open the System32 folder.
*If you have a 64-bit Windows 7,* open the SysWOW64 folder.

Can you see a QTCF.dll in there? If so, drag it out to the desktop. Try launching QuickTime again. Does it launch without the error message this time?

I am having the same 'Entry Point Not Found' problem as above. I have only one QTCF.DLL on my system. It is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem and the version number is 7.6.8 (1675). My QuickTime.exe is the same version. iTunes.exe version is 10.0.1.22. The system is Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate.

iTunes works and I can even view mpeg4 videos within iTunes. If I try to open QuickTime Player, I get the Entry Point Not Found error continuously until I kill the process for QuickTime. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes/QuickTime several times.

Any new suggestions?
