Hi,

I have a European iTunes account.

Since upgrading to iTunes 7 and quicktime 7 for windows xp I no longer get a picture in QT player, just a flicking green screen ( but sound is okay ).

My cousin aloud me to use his American Store account to download some free video. They play out of sync sometimes but picture is perfect. Any older video of my own ( including Pixar stuff I bought from iTunes and previews of iPod games )plays with that green screen even trailers from apple.com .

Some help please.

Thank you.

I seem to remember Apple changing some things because earlier software had bugs that allowed people to evade the copy-protection. Hate to say it, but you might be SOL here. Try uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime, and maybe reinstalling QuickTime or, better yet, the full QuickTime Alternative from www.codecs.com. If it asks during uninstallation, delete any stored settings but keep your licenses.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

The problem is with Direct3D. I found the following solution after many weeks of GREEN and PURPLE SCREEN problems with Quicktime 7 (player and Pro).

on the Quicktime menu, click 'Edit', 'Preferences...' on the 'Advanced' tab, in the 'Video' section un-check the box for 'Enable Direct3D video acceleration'

Then just close the player and re-open.

If that does not work, disable DirectX in Quicktime by selecting 'Safe mode (GDI only)' on the same tab.
