No irritating popups, no demands to be updated, it just plays .rm videos when I want it too... Brian.

*much* better behaved program. No irritating popups, no demands to be updated, it just plays .rm videos when I want it too... Of all the people who have emailed me saying they're having problems running the videos, it's almost always been due to the fact that they've got RealPlayer set as their default media player. Switching the default to Windows Media Player has fixed it, every time. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

We had a customer who was griping about our software burping every second. Sure enough even when RealPlayer isn't supposed to be doing anything it wakes up once a second and steals away the CPU.
