Hey there Joe! You have to open the file using QuickTime. Is this still happening even after you did that?
Yes it still happened, I download Quick time- I even used two different computers to see if may be that related to the computer itself but it’s not i’m not sure what’s going on- Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks @JtJustsVFX

This is just odd…
can you overload us with system information please?
RAM, OS, version, the file you’re trying to open (any information),
and which file(s) exactly, are giving you trouble?

What error does QuickTime give you when you try to play the files with it? Could you take a screenshot?

This happens even when you open the file with QuickTime? That’s very strange! Maybe restart your computer. I had a problem once where my files wouldn’t play and I restarted my computer and that fixed the problem.
Are you completely sure that you are opening this file with QuickTime?
By the way, does the file work in your editing software?
The image you sent looks like the default Windows 10 interface. Like the error message you’d get if you tried to play a video using the default Windows video player. An error message from QuickTime would look different.

Is it possible that your computer is under spec and is unable to play these files?
We are glad to help!
I apologize for continuing to mention this but I want to make sure that you are actually running these files through QuickTime.
First, right click on the file that you want to play:
Next, click open with.
Finally, select QuickTime player and then your file should open with QuickTime.
Hopefully this helps out!

The error message tells you that codec is not supported on your computer. You probably trying to play a ProRes-Codec.
Did you install the Codecs?
FYI:
QuickTime Player should no longer be used for Windows since 2016! At least if you worry about security issues.

Hey there Jonas! Is QuickTime actually a security threat? Well that would be bad! Are there any alternatives?
RV Player is probably the best one around right now.
If you look for a free/open source software:
VLC for movies or DJV player for image sequences

Hi…
Thank you everyone for the quick reply to my Help message - I finally found a software that work with some and not others of my FXs, I’m not sure as to why Quick Time Player did not work at all - Well, I found VideoLAN aka VLC- I downloaded that software and again most of my FXs is working now- which is nice…
Thanks everyone for the support (Thanks to VFX Team and Thanks Jonas)
