BEWARE QUICKTIME UPDATE to 7.2, on Intel, especially if you have Java SE 6.0 Release 1 Developer Preview 6

I had the same problem but did not have to remove Java 6 DP in order to resolve. I did the following:

1. Download QuickTime 7.1.6 installer
2. Download Pacifist
3. Use Pacifist to install QT 7.1.6. This safely installs it over the top of the broken QT 7.2
4. Reboot into Safe Mode (hold Shift key down as soon as the 'bong' sound is heard. Release Shift key when grey apple logo appears. Login screen should show the words 'Safe Mode'
5. Login
6. Re-install the OSX Combo update from file MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10Intel.dmg and Restart when prompted.

Based on a modified version of the instructions on the macfixit site,
the following solved the problem for me without having to reinstall
the OS:

1. Remove Java SE 6.0 Release 1 Developer Preview 6 as follows:

As root:

# cd /
# lsbom -s -f /Library/Receipts/JavaSE6Release1.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom | sed -e 's/^\(.*\)$/"\1"/' | xargs -L 1 rm
# rm -r /Library/Receipts/JavaSE6Release1.pkg
# update_prebinding

2. Reinstall Java SE 6.0 Release 1 Developer Preview 6

  (otherwise Java doesn't work at all).

At least Word, Entourage and Java seem to be working again now.
