[jaws-uk] Re: real player query

John,
You can stop Real Player's updater in XP by going to application data\real and deleting the updater folder, I discovered the path when my firewall (Kerio Personal Firewall) warned me that it was trying to communicate with its headquarters, since then I've never had an annoying popup from Real Player. 

Regards,

Pete H.

Hi Paul, you can't stop them. It's part of the rubbish they force on you as the price of using it.

Hi all,

Pleas can anyone help.

Since getting my new PC and having realplayer installed on it, I am now
getting these real message centre announcements coming up which is now
getting ratehr irritating and I don't kno how to stop them from happening.
This message comes up soon afger I switch on my PC and then when I close it all is OK until I launch the BBC I player and then every ten minutes or so, 
the real message centre announcement comes up again.
Tonight, whilst listneing to a live BBC programme, I decided to let it run 
but unfortunately it decided to shut my PC down which was most anoying.
Odly enough this doesn't seem to happen when using listen again even though 
you are still using the I player.
I have had help off-list and whilst the suggestion of going into the system tray to get rid of this message altogether was a good idea, it didn't work.
Tomorrow night, I am planning to record another BBC show and as it's an an extended edition of the show, I don't knoe if part of it will be on listen again. I am out for the evening but quite honestly, I won't be able to do 
it if I can't get rid of this stupid message.
So, if anyone has any idea as to how I can get rid of these stupid updates 
once and for all, then pleaed let me know, either through this list or
directly to me.

Any help would be apreciated.

Regards

Paul.
