This makes me furious. QuickTime 4.12/4.13 and 5.02 both keep butting in on my other applications to attempt to Update the QT software. My Mac's ---- Performa 6300 running 8.6 ; 7600 running 8.6 , and 8600/G3 PowerLogix 350 running 8.6 or 9.04 will all get interrrupted by QT, trying to force- establish an internet connection. It usually happens when a Command-S keystroke to Save a file in Quark or Clarisworks is attempted, but siometimes happens when Quark 4.11 starts up.

Checking the QT Control Panel, tehre really is no way to disable QT's software updating fetish; only to decide how much adn when you get QT log-ons.

What the hell is going on here ?

Did you try unchecking the box for "Check for Updates Automatically"?

I unchecked that and my QT ignores it!

Hehe, yes he did. Hes just having fun.

can't remember who suggested this or whether i've got it all right but:

change your 'puter's date to something like 2040AD.
launch QT & click 'later'.
quit QT.
reset the year on your 'puter.

haven't tried it myself but it could work.

Yeah, I did that ...manytimes. Check then Uncheck, close and restart.
Doesn't matter. Quick Time still takes over my Finder and Remote Access regardless.

I figure this is Apple's way of not-so-subtley getting you to upgrade to Quick Time Pro from player only.
