I have windows xp sp2,and want to know if I need Quick Time. Apparently it is
not working correctly which it keeps reminding me, usually when I am on face
book. So do I uninstall it and redo it or not? Thanks

Support for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) will end on July 13,
2010. To continue receiving security updates for Windows, make sure
you're running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3).

QuickTime Player is Apple's media player. You need it if you want to
play media that only it can play ... generally some video clips. You
also need QuickTime Player if you have iTunes installed.

If it's giving you problems, uninstall it. If you then try to click on
a media clip that requires QuickTime, you'll get a message that the clip
requires QuickTime to view.

The main QuickTime support page is here:
http://www.apple.com/support/quicktime/
And the latest version is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL837
