Quicktime was installed with my ipod's itunes, it desided to intergrate itself into everything through the registery.maybe realy player told the computer to run every kind of media on your computer, and obviously yor digital camera is a media devise but images cant be opened in real player, creating yet another "domino effect" (alot of these mentioned recently!!!)
