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

Joe, I'm not saying this would or would not be useful, I just found it with a search... http://www.bbcode-to-html.com/ Personally though, just because I like to do things the difficult way I'd probably throw copies of all the text files containing the bbcode into a folder and attempt to develop a script to convert them all in one go. I'm not saying I could do it, but I'd likely try. For instance, this rough beginning using "sed" works on the bbcode you posted above. It's missing a bunch of tags, even the regular [URL] one, but maybe it wouldn't be that difficult to extend. Or maybe it would, I don't really know. sed -e 's/\[b\]/\<strong\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[\/b\]/\<\/strong\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[u\]/\<u\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[\/u\]/\<\/u\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[url=\([^]]*\)\]/\<a href="\1"\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[\/url\]/\<\/a\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[img\]/\<img src\=\"/gi' \ -e 's/\[\/img\]/"\>/gi' Running the bbcode you posted above through that script yields this HTML: Download Autoruns for Windows: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx No installation required. Simply unzip <strong>Autoruns.zip</strong> file, and double click on <strong>autoruns.exe</strong> file to run the program.

The bad thing is, I don't know "regular expressions", although I wouldn't mind learning. Actually, I did learn a wee bit just now.

marie- I have four browsers installed on my computer: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome. None of them interfere with one another, even when several of them are simultaneously open. I don't know why you are having some of the problems you describe, but you shouldn't be worrying about having to choose between Firefox and Internet Explorer. They are each discrete programs, just like Word or Notepad are discrete programs. Something else is going on here, or you have accidentally made some unintended changes to Internet Explorer, but it should have nothing to do with having two browsers installed.

I lost 'spell check' years ago on Firefox. I could not get it back and it disappeared on all my computers (XP and Win 7). Never could find the solution and tried the various fixes FF offers. Just wondering if anyone gets 'spell-check' on FF anymore? Lynn, sorry to jump in on your post but glad to know you found a fix. Jane
