No quick answer for you. There's nothing in the manual as there's not much more to say than what the error message says: Color Finesse is attempting to initialize QuickTime and getting an error.
It looks like there are three reasons why you might get that error message:
1. You don't have QT installed. You do, so that's not the problem.
2. You have an old pre-7.0.2 version of QT installed. Not true in your case.
3. QuickTime fails to initialize for some other reason.
So looking at #3, do you have any third-party codecs installed which might be giving problems? QuickTime interacts with video cards and their drivers so any changes in that area could upset QuickTime. Also check the QuickTime settings and try changing them to see if it makes any difference. Something changed since the full interface was working for you, so I'd concentrate on figuring out what that is.
I don't see anything in our change logs related to this, but I would recommend upgrading to the current version of Color Finesse (2.1.10) so you benefit from any fixes we've made in the last couple of years. You can download the new version from our web site; just be sure to download the "LE" installer so that it accepts your serial number.
