So I've had this little problem ever since I first set up my new desktop computer in the spring. Quicktime doesn't show up on websites. OCR, for example. Instead of the minibar with the volume control, play, stop, etc., I just have a black rectangle covering all of that. So I can't control anything. Same thing happens if a vid is playing.

If I open up Quicktime outside the internet, like the program itself, to watch an avi or something, it says I don't have the appropriate codec. So it sends me to the Apple site, but then doesn't tell me which codec to download. I'm not downloading ALL of them! I don't even know what they all are!

As I've never had this problem before EVER (Quicktime has always been a no-problem program for me), I'm kinda annoyed and have no idea how to remedy any aspect of the dilemma. Does anyone have any possible solutions. Has anyone ever had to deal with this themselves?
