I have it on my emulated windows system.
I have wav files using CoolEdit as a default player. (confirmed this in file associations)
In a browser window, I go to play a clip.
Quicktime hijacks and plays it in its own window.
I never told quicktime to make it the default player.
When I go to uninstall, QUicktime proclaims that uninstalling it ca make applications malfunction.
Forget you apple, if you're as sloppy as microsoft is.
Oh, I use windows emulation because of compuserve. That's soon going to change too.

It's already not checked. When I installed it, I told it to associate ONLY Macintosh file types. The install process made it quite clear at the time what it wanted to make default. I did not make .wav default to Quicktime.
Of course, I unchecked it anyway. Made no difference. :cry:
I appreciated the help though. Under normal circumstances you'd be spot-on. When I'm involved, things are never normal. :-)
Oh well. Applesauce happens.

5. Did you check in your browser? |
|
Isn't there usually a "use X-application" MIME-type window that tells the browser which app to use?
You said: In a browser window, I go to play a clip. What browser are you using? And what are you expecting to happen when you click on the clip? For it to launch CoolEdit?
If you click on a .wav file in "explorer" does it launch CoolEdit?

4. Lose the emulation then try again |
|
That doesn't sound typical for QT, and a lot of emulation software is...quirky.
