Quicktime 7.6.6 (Pro) quits on launch when in Lion

I've followed the instructions in previous threads about downloading the correct version of QT 7 and opening it in the Utilities folder, but it still quits "unexpectedly" on launch.


Anyone got any ides to solve this problem generated by installing Lion other than the already mentioned one?

Quicktime 7-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7)

Josh, I found this solution elsewhere thart worked for the iMovie problem:


Hi

Called Apple support and they had me remove the Prefs files without going through Terminal as follows:


In finder

Click Go from menu bar

Click Go to Folder

Enter ~/Library

Click Go

In Preferences select com.apple.iMovieApp.plist, and com.apple.iMovieApp.plist.lockfile

Drag to desktop

Restart

Launch iMovie - all should be well :-)


However, in my case that was not what happened so I repeated the process above again but before launching iMovie I moved all of my iMovie Projects and iMovie Events from the Movies folder to the desktop.

On launching iMovie this time all worked well - obviously there were no events of projects in there.

Am going through the process of importing each in turn - I guess one must have been corrupt or the filepath incorrect - who knows.

Suffice to say I have iMovie up and running once again :-))

Hope this works for you too :-))
