Chris Blair's Blog : Quicktime – Error 46: Could not find or load activex controlI've struggled for months with this error message from Quicktime Player on our main Windows 7 editing system. Quicktime simply would not open no matter what "fixes" were applied from the internet (and there were plenty "suggested" ones out there). It took me probably 4 or 5 hours across several different days (and attempts) during "down-time" to FINALLY find a "fix" that worked. It appears the REAL problem is that virtually none of the well-meaning folks who posted fixes can write accurate http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/get-an-error-that-says-error-46-could-not-load-or/2ca6787e-9fa4-4e09-b7a8-772c765c5423 instructions. I finally found the right mix of instructions from someone who had gone through the same frustrations as I did. What basically happens with this problem is that Quicktime's installer somehow messes up permissions on Windows 7, so when you go to run the program, Windows 7 doesn't allow it to start. The problem occurs in the registry across dozens of entries, https://blogs.creativecow.net/blog/13039/quicktime--error-46-could-not-find-or-load-activex-control so fixing it manually is a nightmare, and simply uninstalling the program doesn't delete the registry entries, so they remain borked, even when you reinstall Quicktime. What every online set of instructions leaves out is that you MUST run particular file in Vista compatibility mode before the fix will work. So use the instructions listed at this link: http://gerger.com/mediaart/lab/1006/ But add the following: AFTER you install subinacl.msi, go to C:Program Files (x86)Windows Resource KitsTools and right-click on subinacl.exe and change its compatibility mode to Windows Vista (Service Pack 2). Do the same thing to the reset.cmd file that you downloaded. Every set of instructions on the web leaves out the part about changing the compatibility of the subinacl.exe file, which from all the research I did, isn't a normal Windows 7 component. So by NOT changing the compatibility of the file, it doesn't run right. This is the ONLY way the fix in the link will work properly on Windows 7. Hope this helps someone and saves them from the hours and hours of frustration I went through. While I sincerely appreciate the efforts of others

Advertisement markeydsl Banned Thread Starter Joined: Feb 13, 2006 Messages: 147 Hello; I am not sure what happened to this program. I have a lot of MOV. that I use with quicktime, as well it is needed to view alot of internet things. today when I clicked on it to open Quicktime I got the error 46: could not load or find the quicktime active X control. I have tried unistalling, reinstalling, making sure to remove all aspects of error 46 Apple software, including Itunes, and registry accounts. The program installs fine then, when I click on it to execute the program I get the same error. I then tried to do a system restore, but his has not cured the issue either. I am opposed to bypassing issues and installing 3rd party software, this always leads to leaving some huge error on my computer, so I would really like to address this issue, and figure out how to fix it. Of error 46 quicktime course Apple/quicktime, does not offer actual support for their products, which is of course bogus, but still just the same it is a main stream function and I need it. Any suggestions as to how this can be addressed? thank you markeydsl, Apr 20, 2009 #1 Sponsor Phantom010 Trusted Advisor Joined: Mar 9, 2009 Messages: 34,572 You could try the Quicktime Alternative. Or, read this. Phantom010, Apr 20, 2009 #2 markeydsl Banned Thread Starter Joined: Feb 13, 2006 Messages: 147 yea, quicktime alternative does not fix the issue, and I am surprised when people would rather live with an issue rather than fix it. I am not surprised that this was the first solution to come along. However, I just got some information back from someone who actually knows how to fix this issue within Vista, For anyone else who has had this issue please follow the instructions below they work very well and take very little time and do not replace a new program to cover up an issue with an old program. This is not my own work, however here is the owners website regarding this issue incase some of the links I have pasted below do not work correctly. http://research.gerger.com/?view=lab:en&aID=1006 "Error 46: Could not find or load activex control" Quicktime 7.x installed under Windows XP (admin account).
