Solution for QuickTime error in Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary - 7th edition
I just got the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary - 7th edition. I think it has a bug with QuickTime plug-in. When I installed it, it told me whether I want to install QuickTime. I clicked "No" because I already have QuickTime v.7, then the installation finished. I launched the program, suddenly I got an error.
"The QuickTime Plug-in requires the QuickTime System extension version 5 or later."
Whether I click "OK" or "Cancel", the program is launched. I can search for some words without any problem. Yet I click to hear the pronunciation then it comes the error.
"ERROR function playPron:
TypeError: oEmbed.SetURL is not a function
........MP3"
If you come across this problem too, here is the solution. It is very simple, just follow these steps.
1. Go to the program's folder, it should be in "C:\Program Files\Oxford\OALD7".
2. Rename the "plugins" folder to another, for example "oaldplugins".
3. Go to QuickTime's folder, it should be in "C:\Program Files\QuickTime"
4. Copy the "Plugins" folder and paste it in OALD folder (the same folder as in the step 1)
5. Run the program, you will not get any error again.

Ur such a genius person. I figured it out for long time and tried so many ways. Sholud be seen this earlier. Great help... Thanks a lot:)
Thanks Buddy.. It worked for me as well
Thanks, your quite logical and cleverly thought of solution did the trick.
OUP sent the solution to audio problems:
The problem is because OALD7 was originally developed to work with an
older version of QuickTime, and there are some incompatibilities with
newer versions. You can download a patch from our website that will mean
you do not need QuickTime to hear the OALD7's sounds.
Please follow these instructions:
1. Please download the patch file from:
http://fds.oup.com/www.oup.com/zip/elt/no_QT_patch_OALD7.zip (If you
find that you have some difficulties with clicking on this link, it may
be worth highlighting the link and using 'Copy & Paste' to manually
paste it into a new browser window or tab).
2. Unzip no_QT_patch_OALD7.zip. This contains a file named
patch_OALD7.exe.
3. Place the patch utility (patch_OALD7.exe) in any convenient
folder.
4. Run the patch by double-clicking on it.
5. Start the OALD7.
You should now be able to hear the sounds and your OALD7 should now be
working properly

Not works for me.
The original error message gone, but I get a new one: quicktime failed to initialize...
Quicktime is a crap: backward compatibility? who cares...
Anyway the patch supplied in the comments works :)
Dear Admin of this blog,
I've been searching for months to find the solution for this problem. Finally, I got Vista with Quick time 7 and , XP with quick time 6 to run the OALD7 .
Now , I'm going to use Quick Time 7 for both Systems with your advice . If it works or not , Thank you for the information I was looking for years.
Great !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!
It has worked.
But, I've installed OALD7 in to "I" and , Quick Time 7.5 in to "D" , without all of them in "C", as you said. After , RESTART the computer, It has worked.

THANK YOU MY FRIEND, A NOBLE ACT SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US. TY. IT WAS VERY USEFUL. GOOD SUPPORT. MAN

Man You are awasome !!!!
I have installed the software via the CD (I have bought the book last year) and it doesn't work at all. I can't launch it and I don't have any error message ... just nothing.
I have tried the two solutions described by Marridian and an Anonymous without any positive effect.
Does somebody have an idea of a solution ?
It must work well. If not
Solution 1 ************
Uninstall the Anti virus software, and the ALOD from the computer, reboot.
Now,
Install the "Full" version (Select the list when installing) of ALOD.
Solution 2 ***************
Format the hard disk and install "XP" again to make your operating system OK.
thanks alot ! i had a image of oald7 ffor the past few weeks, had same problms as of other?
thanks again
thank you so much! now it finally works!!!
