Installing QuickTime

Time video correctly.

Additional Files folder). Follow the on-screen in-
structions to complete the QuickTime installa-
tion process.

restart your computer. See "Installing Optional
Software for Pro Tools LE" on page 12.

stalling QuickTime, use Add/Remove Pro-
grams to remove Pro Tools LE and Quick-
Time, then repeat the installation process in
"Installing Pro Tools LE and Mbox" on
page 10.
If your computer won't startup after install-
ing QuickTime, use Add/Remove Programs

then repeat the installation process in "In-
stalling Pro Tools LE and Mbox" on
