When I install it, I usually remove it from the start up menu, and make sure it's not associated with anything but realplayer files _____________________________ (in reply to mar0364)

Thought I was crazy but our NA said the same thing. He advised not to use it. I like my local National Public Radio station and thats what they require you use. Thanks! Rich (in reply to Giomanach)

My scotty dog (Winpatrol) was always catching it trying to get in there. _____________________________ In order to remove a wall you must first remove the Windows® (in reply to mar0364)

I did rein it right back on install. I wouldn't let it install in Program Files, gave it a separate folder elsewhere, only allowed it to open ram and rm files and refused to let it put icons anywhere, including start-up. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Since I'm not Real Player (anything that takes it I don't view) user, I'm gonna download one of these instead. Real player takes over too much on my systems for my liking. One of these you suggest should be just fine.
