    Problems with RealPlayer

    A week or so back Real Player just decided not to work, hadn't installed any new programs or anything like that. I thought the best course of action would be to uninstall and re-install it but when I tried to do that I got an error saying "Uninstall Component Missing" or something to that effect.

    I tried download the player again and installing over the top but that did nothing either.

    I was wondering if anyone knew either:


    1 - How I get Real Player to work

    2 - How I uninstall it, no matter what I try I can't get rid of it

    3 - If I manage to uninstall it, is there another program that will play
    real media files without all the rubbish that comes with RealPlayer


    Thanks in advance,
    vaughty

    Why dont you manauly delete the files?

    And if your too scared to manualy play with your registy, use a registry cleaner such as the one included with System mechanic 4. You can get a free trial at
