Whenever QuickTime opens in Safari, either a movie or QTVRs, or anything else, it often crashes Safari. Not all the times, but most. Is anyone else experiencing this? A common problem currently trying to be fixed, maybe?

I'm running 10.4.11 with QuickTime 7.4.5.

I also get a QuickTime watermark with a question mark a lot of times, in the spot where the movie, etc. should have loaded.

Do you have any third-party Quicktime plug-ins installed such as DivX by any chance? Check /Library/Quicktime and ~/Library/Quicktime. If you have DivX installed, delete it - it is nothing but a POS - and replace it with Perian instead. If you have anything else installed such as Flip4Mac, make sure they are the latest versions.

Edit: Also make sure that you have the latest version of Flash player installed.

I got rid of DivX and am installing Perian now. Looks promising, thanks.

Flip4Mac is up to the latest version.

I re-installed Flash just to be sure I was at the latest version.

I'll let you know if any of this fixes my problem, and if it does, thanks!
