Quicktime hangs both IE ver 6.0 and Netscape 7.0 when viewing movie trailers at
http://www.apple.com/trailers

I am running windows XP with Quicktime 6.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, it still hangs the browser.

I filed bug 157631 before - a 100% repeatable crash on Mac OS 9. But I was never
able to confirm it on Windows NT. It only happens with QuickTime 6, which is a
scriptable plugin (QuickTime 5 was not).

If you're using a Talkback-enabled build, can you send us the Talkback-id of the
crash ? Just open talback.exe (which is in one of the subdirectories where
mozilla is installed - I forgot which) and note the number. With that ID, we can
compare the stacktraces - maybe this bug is the same.

I see this crash in win32 2002092408 on xp-pro *and* IE 6

Problem is I don't get a talkback dialog just an app freeze.

I too cannot get a talkback report because the browser just hangs.  I have to
kill it via task manager.

i'm a bugzilla newbie so i hope i'm not doing anything wrong :)
i had the same bug but it was a quicktime configuration mistake... go to
preferences --> streaming proxy. i found out that quicktime detected i have a
SOCKS proxy where i don't, so i unchecked the SOCKS proxy and configurated the
HTTP proxy.... then go to streaming transport, and change it to HTTP : 80 (even
if your http proxy port is set to 8080 or any other port...)
