From: Bruce A. Julseth on 30 Mar 2010 08:14 ITunes + QuickTime is installed on my XP system. Do I have any reason to keep it? I DO NOT play games and I DO NOT listen to MP3, et. al. Why do I need either one of them? Thanks for the help..

If you don't do any of those things, why did you install it in the first place? Quicktime is use to view certain Apple format video clips that Windows doesn't support out of the box. If you don't use iTunes or Quicktime, get rid of it. If you find you need it later, re-install it then.

Quicktime plays *.mp4 and *.mov video files, which Windows Media Player will not. If you never meet one of those, you won't need Quicktime. If you do want to see one some time, you will need it. -- Tim Slattery Slattery_T(a)bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt

It's much more benign than any other of the common players and plays virtually all common formats. videolan.org |
