If you want to keep the current top service ($29) or get the free RealPlayer, RealOne will keep popping up everywhere. It took me a long time to uninstall RealOne, get rid of the premium service (which kept upgrading to RealOne), and install the free service without which the *.rm files will not work - they do not respond to other media players. Although Real used to be a pretty good service, now I'd recommend the latest Windows Media Player, which works well and - at least for now - doesn't beg for upgrade money every minute. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Janos Gereben/SF janos451 () earthlink net
