downloading quicktime screws up windows media player.

i need to download quicktime to view a clients online product movie. everytime i have tried to download quicktime in the past it has screwed up windows media player.

it takes over some of the operations of wmp and screws up a lot of the sound capability of my computer.

my program is xp and i run ie. i am told there are different methods of downloading quicktime but i never see that when downloading. i just want quicktime for the movie, nothing else.

is there an answer here?
