RealPlayer updates

16 years ago

I didn't want to "horn in" on ourguy's thread so I started a new one for this question.

After reading his, I, having a Gateway which came with RealPlayer, decided to check my version and what updates available?

Could anyone tell me which updates I should DL if not all?

Thanks.

If your Real Player is working fine, I would not download
anything.
Read each item...and decide if you actually want or need the item. The 'critical' update, I think, wants to install the latest version. No need if your's is working correctly.
The 'plug-ins' are just things you might want to have, although personally, I've never had any need for them.
In fact, I seldom use Real at all.
Real has way too much 'stuff' that uses resources.

Hope this helps...

I have never seen a firefox add-on called that, I did a search on firefox extensions page and nothing with realplayer in the name even came up. That is a new one on me. You can always try getting Real Player again should you find you need it. Or you can get something like Real Alternative which will play Real stuff and is light and easy. Download Real Alternative RealPlayer as stated by MozillaZine you have 2 alternatives for Real media. since you gave me the exact name I googled it and sure enough it apparently does appear for some people and it looks like it is causing a lot of problems and it can be disabled here are the results Here is a link that might be useful: search result

Real player is an Intrusive programs an usually runs on the pc getting realplayer up dates--The only thing this program does is play "Real Media files" so if you don't use it uninstall it.. You can remove 9.x Xp and vista can open Zip files you could uninstall win zip, if you find you need it later reinstall it. You could update apple quick time.

you should be able to open media player click on help> about and it should have the version number there. yes go ahead and get qt lite, since you have windows 7 I would bet you do have the latest media player. To determine the version of Windows Media Player, click About on the Help menu in Windows Media Player, and then note the version number below the Copyright notice. If the Help menu is not displayed, press ALT+H, and then click About.

Did you just do a FF upgrade to a new version? If so , was it beta3? Be aware not all plugins work with a new version. If not, this would be a time that I would suggest an overwrite of FF as there is nothing to lose. If that doesn't resolve the concern download and overwrite the appropriate plugins, again nothing to lose. Please back up your Bookmarks before you tinker any farther. DA

While I'm thinking of it, as you go along and play
Real files from time to time, you will be asked
if you want to download an update or 'codec' etc.,
that you may need to play the file, if needed.
You can update the particular item at that time.

I would suggest that unless you use the features in real to buy music or shop, that you uninstall real player and go for real alternative. There is also a quicktime alternative. Together they will get rid of 2 poorly built programs with a history of security problems.

Here is a link that might be useful: Real alternative
