QuickTime 7.3 has been released by Apple. It fixes a couple of security vulnerabilities and from what I have read also the NVIDIA compatibility issues.
It installs fine, but the problem is that it won't work properly on one of my computers. I get error -2093, which means that something is wrong with the file quicktime.qts. QuickTime 7.2 and earlier all work perfectly fine on that computer. I don't have any NVIDIA hardware, so that isn't the cause of my problems.
To investigate, I installed the exact same copy of Windows in two identical VMware environments. The only difference in hardware is the CPU. An Intel Core2 versus an old AMD Athlon Thunderbird. QuickTime works correctly on the Core2, but not on the Thunderbird. So that would make me think that QuickTime now suddenly requires SSE, or even worse SSE2.
Can anyone with an old CPU confirm this?
