hi, i beg to differ! i use realplayer with no problems using jfw. no pop-ups, no spy ware, nothing like dave has mentioned. so take your pick! smile. if you configure realplayer properly, you don't get any interference from pop-ups, and it doesn't download anything unless you allow it too. kevin - co-owner/moderator of the blind gamers discussion list. email/msn: kream@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave" <groups.dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 1:10 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Windows Media Player versus Real Player. > I think the fact that there is a program called Real Alternative to play > real audio files says it all.
