Quicktime/Vista Problem

Just bought a new laptop with Vista, and I installed the latest version of Quicktime.
My problem is that I cannot rename the large movie files that I've shot with my cheap digital Aiptek camcorder. If I right click on them and select rename it allows me to type the new name but as soon as I hit enter it locks up the explorer window.
If I uninstall Quicktime I can then rename them just fine. I tried to use "Quicktime Alternative" with the classic player which eliminated the renaming issue, but won't play the hi-res videos smoothly.
Has anyone else here come across this? Even more importantly has anyone found a solution. I've searched all over the place for an answer but keep coming up empty handed. I even posted to the Quicktime for windows support forum on an existing thread but no one has responded at all for two days.
Please help! I'm about to pull out what little hair I have left.:mad:

Is quicktime running/have loaded the file you are trying to rename?
-
It will load and play the file, but it is not open while I'm trying to rename it. Even after a fresh reboot if I open the folder that contains the files and try to rename them it will choke.HT

I would go to the quicktime site and see if there is a patch for Vista.

Sounds like QT is running at startup, which is silly. Pull the Quicktime shortcut out of the Start folder. You could also kill the app from the task manager, or deselect it to run at startup from msconfig, or re-install it without having it run at startup (if it has that option).
Just a guess.-Ignorance is strength - -
No edit blows! That ^^ won't solve the issue, but it should let you rename if that is the culprit.-Ignorance is strength -

Yea... You're right on both counts. It didn't fix it, and no edits do blow.:DHT

Go back to XP?

look for another player other than Quicktime. what is the file extension ? .MOV or something else?PolkFest 2012, who's going>?

.MOV
I've been considering other players. It just really pisses me off that almighty Apple is aware of the issue and refuses to address it. Why people continue to believe they are infallible is beyond me.HT
