Hi there, sorry to take so long to respond. I've been looking into this and haven't been able to find much.
I do know that quartz.dll is part of Microsoft DirectX(Direct Show)/Active Movie and there are multitudes of different versions of the file available for download so it is not simply a case of replacing it.
I would try reinstalling DirectX first, then your video drivers.
