Thanks, Amro, I've just never liked Real Player so will try Alternative on another machine that hasn't yet got either of these on it. Thanks for the tips.

Hi Carol, because it's not a hog, isn't full of spyware like Real Player is, doesn't install itself everywhere, has a friendly and easy to use interface etc. I've always hated the way Real Player operates but just Google Real Alternative and read what people have to say. Quite a few places to download from. Again Google Real Alternative. Unless you want to do advanced audio editing and stuff, the version you want is "K-Lite Codec Pack". You could play almost any media format found on the net with this edition. I use version 1.8, but I don't know if this is the latest version. Two things to be aware of. You can't have both Real Player and Real Alternative installed at the same time on your computer; Alternative wouldn't work then. Secondly, if using Jaws 8 or above, after you install and run the application, set Screen Echo to none from the Jaws Config manager/Jaws Verbosity dialog for this little neat app. HTH, Amro ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 10:16 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Listen again - again!Why is "Alternative" better? I must admit, I only have "Real Player" on my PC for those things that won't play any other way ... and it's probably a bit of a hog. Where can "Alternative" be found, please? -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Tuesday, February 24, 2009 7:45 PM (UK time), Alasdair King at alasdairking@xxxxxxxxx said:Hi Pauline, You are indeed missing Real Audio support. You need to download and install RealPlayer or Real Alternative. Alternative is better but illegal.

Downloaded Real Player and this worked o.k. However I would not recommend this player as it tends to take over computer{not difficult as I am not very experienced} lol. If you open webbie manual I think I saw email address for Alistair King. Hope this helps.
