Many thanks you for your advice - I have done precisely that - I removed
RealPlayer completely - and then during the re-install when asked if I
wanted RP to be the default player I said 'no.'' YET IT STILL INSTALLED
ITSELF AS THE DEFAULT!!!!!!! And it still crashes on WMV files. Trouble is
there is some streaming audio / video that I do need - such as that from
BBC Radio 7. No other player seems to play these. CJB.

Help - RealPlayer has taken over my PC!!!

Uninstall RealPlayer and any other "Real" software and roll back to a
restore point before the installation took place.

Real products are invasive and arrogant. There is no content offered in
Real format that could entice me to install them on any system I'm in
charge of.
