DDE Server Window: QuicktimePlayer.exe - Application Error

Good evening,

I bought an Iphone 4. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to install Itunes and Quicktime. Unfortunately, after the complete installation I have this error message... DDE Server Window: QuicktimePlayer.exe - Application Error

I tried to uninstall everything, no result. I tried to change session, the 2 other administrators have the same error message. I cannot run any Apple application (Quicktime, Itunes, Safary).

My computer technician told me that is is a Windows problem and I have to reformat and start everything over.... How can I avoid this??? Please help.

PC, Windows XP Pro, Frecnh settings

Strange. You see DDE errors associated with Safari every now and then (when opening email links), but it's very odd to see them feature as part of start-up errors for iTunes, Safari and QuickTime.

Let's try a few measures relating to fixing Windows operating system problems that don't involve a complete windows reinstall.

First, check to see that your Microsoft .NET framework is up-to-date and functioning properly, as per:

[iTunes for Windows: "iTunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall iTunes" message|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3074]

Does that help with the start-up errors?

If not, perhaps try an sfc /scannow as per:

Does that help at all?

Sorry for the delay to reply, I could not before.

Unfortulately, I uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime twice, nothing new. Even a PC technician came at home and couldn't do better!

I bought different software to fix my PC, such as PC Health Advisor or PowerSuite, no change! I guess my PC is too clean!

My computer technician wants to reinstall Windows XP after a reformat and I do not have days to reinstall all the software.

Any clue, I cannot use any Apple software such as Safari, ITunes or Quicktime?

Help!
