quicktime problem "buffer overrun detected!"???

sorry if thas has been posted a billion times recently, but i seriously am not that good with computers and can't seem to find a place for help with this. was hoping you guys here could at least point me in the right direction. Also, like i just said, I am not very handy when it comes to computers, so try to keep it plain and simple... 😀

with that being said, I have encountered this problem with quicktime recently, which in turn has caused itunes to not work either. i've tried searching for a fix for days now and have been unsecessful finding anything so far. I heard it has something to do with the new quicktime update not cooperating with some service pack update... im not sure

I tried to delete quicktime but couldn't, now when i try to open quicktime... I get an error message reading :

Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library
Buffer overrun dtected!
program C:\programfiles\quicktime\quicktimeplayer.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.


thanks for any help in advance
