Pd-extended does not install DLLs into the globally accessible place  
(i.e. \WINDOWS\system32)  They are all installed into Program Files\pd 
\bin.  These are the DLLs that are installed, the only one I think  
might have a conflict is msvcp71.dll.

libogg-0.dll
libsndfile-1.dll
libvorbis-0.dll
libvorbisenc-2.dll
libvorbisfile-3.dll
msvcp71.dll
pd.dll
pdtcl.dll
pthreadGC2.dll
tcl84.dll
tclpip84.dll
tk84.dll

It sounds like your problem lies elsewhere.  From what I have seen,  
QuicktimeAlternative is a big kludge, so I am not surprised it would  
break.  Try VLC player, it's a great media player that happens to be  
free:
