Friday, December 19, 2003 at 11:20 am Posted by Rick (1 messages posted) I think that the more important question is: My installation of Quicktime has been working for a long time and I had never seen this error message until recently. What caused the change, and is there a virus / apple update/ xpupdate that is associated with or caused this. If this is an Apple or Microsoft bug, we should be reporting it. If it is a virus...We should know that and figure out how to clean the systems.

Saturday, December 20, 2003 at 7:27 am Posted by -RPC (1 messages posted) I just had the same problem occur after I "repaired" my installed coppy of MS Office. Not sure why it came up [again]. In any case, I tried your solution and it worked like a charm. THANKS! On Friday, August 29, 2003 at 12:41 pm, Jorge M. wrote: >Go to Start --> Run... Type msconfig.

Wednesday, December 24, 2003 at 1:39 pm Posted by Don Adams (1 messages posted) I started to have the same problem after I plugged in a new card reader to my USB port. So I do not leave it plugged in all the time, only when I want to use it. When I unplug it the error message does not come up.

[Reply or follow-up to this message] the Fix for: qttask.exe -atboottime Friday, December 26, 2003 at 12:26 pm Posted by ZDM (1 messages posted) I realize this is an old post but many people seem to not understand that even by disabling qttask via QuickTime it still runs in the back ground for a bit at boot time or rather "-atboottime" as the switch is. Here is how to get rid of it all together (requires regedit): 1) back up your registry before attempting this. 2) browse to HKey_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run 3) find the entry for qttask and delete it 4) exit regedit and reboot On Monday, August 25, 2003 at 11:39 am, Joe wrote: >Hey folks, about a week ago I started getting this warning "3a0: qttask.exe - no >disk There is no disk in the drive.
