quick time Player has encountered a ...

Hello,
I am getting this message and it is driving me bonkers!
"quick time Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".

Am running XP. Have uninstalled all Apple programs (QT, iTunes, update, bonjour, etc and in the order Apple recommends.) I re-installed QuickTime again.

Same Problem.

Went to the control panel and launched the quicktime control panel.

QuickTime Preferences comes up. If i choose the "files type" tab this error comes up in a window:
RUNDLL
An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"

Clicking on this just closes the window.

Some one on another post mentioned something about another codex takinhg the place of an original. How do I find if this is causing it if only to shut down that avenue of conceren?

This has taken up SOOO much time I can't tell you and I can't use my iPhone or iTouch until I get it sorted.

Any help would be much appreciated.
