  Hi, Bill,

  RealPlayer has evidently been known for yonks as spyware central. I once loaded the thing, and it took me two weeks to get all the germs off my box. This was when I became enamoured of Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware.

  I understand that there's a ware called 'Real Alternative' that will play the appropriate files. It is (approximately) RP without the spyware. Haven't tried it, but it comes recommended by my faculty.

  Regards,

  Poinz

  Use winamp with appropriate add on plug in. Runs with minimal resource usage and does not take over your PC

    I love to be able to do that (get .ram codec) if it is possible since winamp is a great player :)

    .ram is the type file that the real player uses, amongst other things. (real audio/media)
