I'm not sure how you can help but reading this post I thought you could. Thank you.

That's consistent with some other application (apart from QuickTime itself) stashing old QuickTime componentry on the PC in an unorthodox location. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects with that, although some games might do the same.)

So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.

First we'll need to change some view settings.

In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.

Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "SysWOW64" folder.

What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Thank you for your help, in the direction C:\Windows\SysWOW64, there are a folder with the name QuickTime and 3 files QuickTime.cpl, QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx.

In the folder C:\Windows\SysWOW64\QuickTime, there are 13 files:
-QuickTimeAuthoring.qtx
-QuickTimeCapture.qtx
-QuickTimeEffects.qtx
-QuickTimeEssentials.qtx
-QuickTimeImage.qtx
-QuickTimeInternetExtras.qtx
-QuickTimeMPEG.qtx
-QuickTimeMPEG4.qtx
-QuickTimeMPEG4Authoring.qtx
-QuickTimeMusic.qtx
-QuickTimeStreaming.qtx
-QuickTimeStreamingAuthoring.qtx
-QuickTimeStreamingExtras.qtx

Is it normal to have these files?
Should I delete these files?
