Normally this is due to unfinished/corrupted video files in your downloads folder. I am assuming this is the case for you.
This should solve the problem:
Open Finder an navigate to your downloads folder.
Right-click and select Show View Options.
Untick Show Icon Preview.

Sure that is possible with Terminal, just fire up:
defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -bool TRUE
You have to restart finder before the option will be available.

Normally, text files are supported by QuickLook. If you have one that isn't, chances are that there is something "odd" about the file, at least from the Finder's point of view.
Try opening the file in TextEdit and then choose "Format" and then "Make Rich Text" as shown here:
Type a space (or modify the document in some other minor way).
go back to the ...

It looks like all the previous answers to this question are completely uninformed. I suggest that you completely disregard all of them. It is unlikely, for instance, that telling the document creator that what they did was faulty will really get you anywhere.
First, it's likely that they did not embed fonts, yes, but there are many fonts that carry flags ...

Raw support for cameras is something that changes with almost every OS update. Specifically, Lion 10.7.0 only supports some cameras, and 10.7.1 adds more, and so on. Also, according to this KB article on what cameras Apple supports - it is similarly vague that you need specific versions of Aperture or iPhoto to even see whether your machine needs a RAW ...

Simple answer, no.
More complex answer is still no, but that doesn't mean it can't be done (Late Night Software's Script Debugger overrides the default QuickLook viewer for applications (com.apple.application) but you as the user don't see any difference).
There are a few sites around such as Quick Look Plugins and QLPlugins that offer plugins ...

It is possible that some QL plugins are broken, you should check
~/Library/QuickLook/
/Library/QuickLook/
/System/Library/QuickLook/
for new QL plugins (check the date of the files). Maybe a program installed a new (broken) plugin? But some QL plugins are not inside the Library/QuickLook/ folders you can use
qlmanage -m
to list all QL plugins, with

I have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4, and that file is present. The file is copyrighted by Apple ("3.2, Copyright Apple Inc. 2007-2011").
Looking at the content of its info.plist file, I see that its purpose is generating a preview for files with a content type UTI equal to com.apple.iconset, which (as far as I remember) is the type of files containing a set of ...

qlcolorcode didn't display HTML files by default on my installation of 10.8. I could get it to display them by adding public.html and public.xhtml to CFBundleDocumentTypes:LSItemContentTypes in ~/Library/QuickLook/QLColorCode.qlgenerator/Contents/Info.plist and logging out and back in.
You could also remove /System/Library/QuickLook/Web.qlgenerator/, but it ...

I was informed that download apptamer would solve the problem. The activity was reduced significantly. Right now I'm on a 15 day trial. It appears from what I found here: http://maccrazy.com/macbook-air-heat-fan-noise, that others have found it useful too
