If the "rogue" plugin cannot handle the MIME type, then a "broken plug-in" icon being displayed instead of the movie. This message box notifies you when QuickTime MIME types (e.g. *.mov files) have been "hijacked" by another application. Solution: On the dialog box click 'YES' to restore the MIME type associations back to QuickTime. Additionally, if you select the "Do not prompt in the future" checkbox, every time you launch a QuickTime MIME type it will be automatically registered to QuickTime, if it already hasn't. NOTE: You need to be an Administrator on your local computer for this option to work. Otherwise, the message box will always pop up when QuickTime MIME types have been deregistered.
