quicktime movie won't play on PC

Jun 4, 2005 10:21AM PDT

Does anyone know why my quicktime movie might play on a mac but won't play on my PC using windows 98 and quicktime? The movie has a qt icon and .mov extension, but quicktime on the PC won't recognize it, says it is not a format it recognizes. Any ideas? thanks.

opens a bunch of different pic types, plays movies including QT, download all plugins also.
You can manipulate pics, resize, save as different type, do a slideshow, make a screensaver. When installing, choose "image files only" and whatever other types you want.
