When I launch a program on my Power Macintosh, it tells me that it cannot find QuickTimeLib. I have searched my hard drive but cannot find it. What is it and how do I get it?
DISCUSSION QuickTimeLib is a code fragment that is part of the QuickTime PowerPlug extension. If QuickTime PowerPlug is disabled, damaged, or deleted you may get this message. The QuickTime PowerPlug extension can be reinstalled by performing a custom installation of QuickTime in the System 7.5 installer. For additional information on Power Macintosh code fragments, please see the following Tech Info Library article: Article 14865: " Power Macintosh: Run Time Environment " QuickTime 2.5 With the release of QuickTime 2.5 the QuickTimeLib not available message may be occurring because the Extensions Manager control panel is not recognizing the QuickTime PowerPlug (as well as QuickTime Musical Instruments) as part of the "System 7.5.x Only" set. If a user restarts with the "System 7.5.x Only" set, the Extensions Manager will not recognize these two extension and they will not load. Users need to make sure these extensions are active. The reason for this is because, with QuickTime 2.5, the creator types for QuickTime PowerPlug and QuickTime Musical Instruments changed so these extensions could have their own individual icons. Since the creator types are different, and the Extensions Manager uses the creator type to recognize system extensions as part of the "System 7.5.x Only" set, the new creator type is not recognized as part of the "System 7.5.x Only" set. |
