Hi flutist..........Yes, try rebooting..think I mentioned that up above. If you have a game running in the background, that may be the reason you have QT up and running too. I can't think of any reason why it would be running on its own. Strange. <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" /> Otherwise, there's a bigger problem than I know how to deal with.

That didn't help.

I'm sorry to hear that Flutist. The game is compatible with XP and all, right?

Did you try uninstalling Chemicus, deleting all your existing QuickTime and then reinstalling Chemicus?

I was just thinking that you said you had loaded Chemicus which may have brought up your existing QT and caused the program to continue running in the background. I don't know what else to advise, but to back clear out of this, delete your resident QT versions and then reload Chemicus, which should install the correct QT version.

I will forward the thread to Syd and Jenny1 though.

This link supposedly shows how to uninstall QuickTime on Windows XP.
QuickTime uninstall link

However I don't know how to convince Win XP it isn't running a program when it thinks it is and it really isn't.

Make sure all background programs are closed when you uninstall it. I don't know if rebooting will help clear it up or not.

If Quicktime is running in the background it should be showing under processes (2nd tab) in the task manager (it shows everything that is running in the background and also currently). Probably doesn't say "quicktime" but might say "qtime" or something smiliar. Chemicus should work under XP...just installed Chemicus 2 without any problems.
just checked the german webpage for chemicus:
maybe try this:
In Quicktime (Start, Control Panel, Quicktime) under "Video" choose option "zuverl

I deleted Chemicus and two other games that require QT. Couldn't find anything that resembled QT in the task manager. I just tried the uninstall for QT3.0 again and it still says the same thing as above.
I've got to fix my 'search' on Windows.
Looked under video in QT process and there isn't anything like modus.
Gotta go. Back later

Quicktime is not running on your system. What is running is the Quicktime applet in your control panel. Doing a "normal" uninstall of Quicktime removes this applet from the control panel. For some strange reason you have no uninstall program for Quicktime in your start menu. Therefore, the only way to get rid of any leftover QT files (including the control panel applet) is to search the system for them. As I have said, the QT control panel applet will end in ".cpl". This needs to be removed from your system before you will be able to install another version of QT.

I have contacted Dell support, so maybe I will get a reply today. When I am successful, I will let you all know. Nothing has worked so far.
