Broken Quicktime 'icon'
Happy New Year!
At a number of websites I go to(with Safari) I get a wierd icon consisting of the Quicktime symbol inside a representation of (what I assume is) movie film, with a corner torn out. What does this mean? I downloaded Flash Player 7. Does it need to go to a specific place?
Thanks
Steve

I would suggest downloading a fresh copy of QuickTime from Apple.

It sounds like some part of your QuickTime framework has broken.

Thanks, Brad. I tried that but it didn't help.

Hi Paul
I have OS 10.3.2 and QT 6.5, which I just reinstalled tonight.

Thanks for your help, Brad.

This doesn't happen with IE, by the way.

it's gotta be something with the site side, because i can't even get anything more than an empty "#" link. it is possible they are loading a new trailer, or something got damaged, or whatever....

I just tried the last link with IE and it came out fine, so I should think things are OK at the site.
Appreciate it, tho, rok.
The Safari 1.2 update has solved the problem. Where I was getting the broken icons there are now excellent multimedia content, at least at the Master and Commander and Macromedia sites. The M&C site is very good. Check it out.
