Hello, anyway how and what did you use to disable quicktime? if you just disabled the player, you could try enabling it back by doing the following:-- click on computer/my computer-- click on the drive where your operating system is installed (usually C:)-- click on Program Files folder-- find and click on the Quicktime folder-- find the QuickTimePlayer.exe icon-- double click on it-- it should startKeep in mind that if your operating system is running a 64 bit operating system, there should be two folders:  Program Files and Program Files x86.  Quicktime folder should be found in the Program Files x86 folder.  If this doesn't work, let us know if you disabled the program services or the program start up with msconfig.Easiest way for you would be to download quicktime player and install from there.
