Thanks for the links. I wonder why anyone uses Real Audio these days. It is absolutely the worst format. Bad audio, and you have to use that ad-ridden, bloat garbage Real Player.
Ugh.

Ugh. | I've never exactly been impressed with it, but at least it was able to run at all...like many other people who I've seen on various computer forums, ever since I downloaded Windows Media Player 9 it would never work for anything, even after following all the FAQ steps on the site. And just as many people have reported the second problem I had as well...not being able to re-install ANY of the previous versions even after uninstalling 9 and following any "official" instructions again! Even various codes and registry command alterations that people came up with didn't help most people reporting the problems, with only a couple exceptions.
So while I'm still searching for a "satisfactory" player for the long-run, right now I much prefer Real Player to the complete mess that Media Player has been ever since the latest beta and full versions came out awhile back - including 10 and 11.
P. S. Did you ever get the e-mail I sent you a couple weeks ago?

Chris,
All I can say is that you have no idea what kind of adware Real Player is putting on your system, and how it is messing up other things. I can't even get Real to run without prompting me for a "tell us what kind of underwear you have" privacy invasion form.
I haven't had any problems with WMP since version 6. But there is a very good free player called WinAmp. Try that.
I did get your email - it came in while I was switching PCs, and got stuck in a line of 200+ emails (seriously). I'll reply back this week.
Blessings,
