Unable to import some files because QuickTime is not installed?

[Mitchdeathshadow]

I have been researching this problem and cannot seem to find an answer that works for me so I decided to just go ahead and ask. I am trying to import an .AVI video file into Pro Tools 11. I have the latest version of QuickTime installed on my PC but when I try to import the video file into Pro Tools it simply says "Unable to import some files because QuickTime is not installed"
If anyone has a solution for this it would be greatly appreciated, also I am using Windows 8.

Checkout Page 1145 of the Pro Tools Reference Guide. They have some pointers on making sure that your Windows Media is optimized for use within Pro Tools

Hope this helps...
