iTunes/QuickTime... My son thinks I'm a computer whizz - please help to keep his illusion intact by helping me

When my son tried to access iTunes he got the message...

QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # -2093.

Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer.

He's asked me to sort it - but I don't even know what QuickTime is!

How do I set the computer to initiate iTunes when we click on the iTunes icon???

Update:

Been to edit/remove programmes and QuickTime isn't there.

(my son is 26 - he knows I'm not perfect - he just thinks I'm good on the computer - and with your help I AM!)

Update 2:

He's been using his ipod for ages.. and when I tried to install (re-install?) QuickTime it wanted me to pay.

    Ok, when you first start up the computer, go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ - this is where the Quicktime is located on Apple's website.

    Just follow the on screen instructions, and it should work for you,

    Quicktime is like Windows Media Player, and Realtime, just another multimedia player.

    Hope this helps, if not you know where we all are.

    You need to download quicktime and install. There is a free version and a pro version. Once installed don't click on the upgrade to pro link. You might want to upgrade Itunes as well.

    all you have to do it go to www.apple.com, and go to the itunes tab, and reinstall it. but first, maybe you shoud uninstall quick time.

    Or, you can first uninstall quicktime in your control panel-add or remove programs. And install it again. (i recommend you do this instead of what i said earlier) here is the site for quicktime:

    You should never let your kids think that you are better than you are. It is best to let them know that you just don't know.

    A better lesson in life then thinking that you are invincible.
