Now I can't view .MOV files!

There was a .mov file I downloaded and, after installing Flash Player in
my Netscape, I was able to view it with Netscape (7.0).

Then I tried to upload it to www.putfile.com but couldn't.

Their Help section said to download and install Quicktime as well
as the latest Windows Media Player.

I'm running XP Home.

Well, that blew everything!

Seems I'd had problems before when I messed with Quicktime,
but had forgotten about it.

Uninstalled QT, but still can't view the MOV file.
EDIT - now I find I have to have QT to view a MOV file,
but I didn't have it before and I could by using Netscape. ???

Before, the icon was a small square box with a white background
and red and blue dots or something in it.

Now, it's a white box with some sort of small green symbol
in the center.

Before when I'd click on the icon, a window would open telling me
that Windows Media couldn't play it and asking what app I wanted
to use for it. I'd select Netscape and all was well.

Now that box doesn't come up even. When I select "Open With"
it gives me the same choices, but Netscape won't open it any more.

What gives!? I'm THOROUGHLY disgusted, and hope I remember
NEVER to install QT again!!!

OH - going into START and SET PROGRAM ACCESS AND DEFAULTS
doesn't do any good, either.

I don't know how to get that .mov file back to whatever it
was before but I think that's what I need to do.

Here's the file in question - this is a link to it, but I have
it saved into my computer and was able to play it before.

Thanks for any help returning to a "pre Quick Time" condition!
