Interesting. Norton reports a 'System error' with each of the QT files, but
it does this also if I install working copies from elsewhere. This does
seem to suggest a problem with the hard drive, the new copy simply
over-writing the old and using the same damaged area, so looks like I'm not
going to sort it until I do a low-level format.

But that seems to have solved the mystery, so thanks.
