I've been following this thread in the hope that it would solve a problem I had recently, but since it didn't, I guess I'll ask directly :-). Someone sent me a file with a .pct extension and I was unable to open it. I tried selecting it and clicking on Open - nothing happened. I tried saving it and then going to Preview and trying to open it - it was grey in the list of files. I tried trying to insert it in a Word doc as an image - it was grey in the list of files. I finally gave up and got the information another way. But now it sounds as if I should have been able to open it in Preview. So what do I need to fix? Just to check, I went to Internet Explorer and looked at its list of file helpers and it seemed to be pointing .pct at QuickTime.
