Real Player is a pain in the backside!


Recommended Posts

Are you, by any chance, with AoL - if you are you can forget it. As Real Player is their default media player it will always re-install itself on the next re-boot after you uninstall it. If your not with AoL, I wish I could help you but I discovered that nothing, short of a stick of dynamite, would shift it from my last machine - needless to say it has never been, and never will be, on my present computer!

For anyone who does succeed in removing Real Player yet still wants the capability of reading Real Player data, use Real Alternative:

You do need a player that is capable of playing RealMedia. The included Media Player Classic supports it and works very well. Supported: RealAudio (.ra .rpm), RealMedia (.rm .ram .rmvb .rpx .smi .smil), RealText (.rt), ReadPix (.rp), RealMedia embedded in webpages. .smi and .smil files sometimes only play the first part of a clip. This is a limitation of the current Media Player Classic. The RealMedia Browser plugin supports Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape and Mozilla.

Get it from http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm

I've installed it on several machines now without problems. :)
