You may get this error message on Windows systems if you installed (or updated) Java after you installed QuickTime. First of all, make sure you have QuickTime 7 installed. (QuickTime 6 may work, but is not supported.)
The technically-savvy can verify that QuickTime for Java was properly installed by looking for the file "QTJava.zip" in the "lib\ext" folder of your Java installation. For example, on a standard Windows system, with the latest version of Java (currently 1.5.0_09) QTJava.zip should be in this folder:
c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09\lib\ext
If you have QTJava.zip in the "lib\ext" folder of an earlier version of Java for example:
c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_08\lib\ext
You can copy the file into the newest Java "lib\ext" folder and re-launch the Vlog Client and it should be able to find QuickTime.
