QT Audio options - poof!

I've lost the QuickTime audio options in 32-bit versions of Vegas (8 and 9), but v9 64-bit still works just fine. Now, yes, there's probably a cause: Firefox started claiming I needed to install a plugin to view some content and it was QuickTime, so I dl'd and installed the latest 7.6.4, which, actually, was already on my system, so I "Repaired" the installation and... yea, now it's broken. Tried reinstalling, uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, reinstalling Vegas... ya, the usual.
I can work around this, since Vegas+QT is still rendering audio (44kHz, 16-bit), but I don't have any options (Audio tab is simply blank) and often render 48kHz (and often use QT for lossless intermediates). Still, between this and QT crashing in v9-64 and Apple not supporting DVCPRO HD on Windows... grrr, just had to rant, I suppose, but if anyone's seen this or has any ideas, that would be fantastic.

I think a quick fix would just be to do a system restore before you installed the plugin for firefox. It sounds like the quicktime pro registry became corrupt, but if Vp9 can still see it... well, that throws a wrench into the equation :)
Just restore it to a time before the plugin update.

I'll try the system restore thing - I'm certain I had 7.6.4 working up until 2 days ago. Unfortunately, the "repair" of QuickTime does not show up, but I can back up a couple of days anyhow. The only installs listed are two Windows updates and I guess it could be a long shot that one of those did it (or one of those triggered the Firefox QT plugin to break which... fun). The problem only effects the 32-bit versions of Vegas, v8 and v9.

Eric, there have been a few posts on the Sony Vegas forum that the new version of QuickTime and/or iTunes has thoroughly messed up Vegas as far as being able to import iTunes files.
The fix "appears" to be rolling back to a previous version (7.6.2) of QuickTime.
