Hi George, You know what I'd do? I'd get rid of real alternative, and install winamp. You can get it from http://www.whitestick.co.uk Click on, I think the link is titled downloads. You want winamp version 5.24 Hopefully, that will help. I have Alternative, but with that audio feed, I would let it play in winamp, instead of .ram.

Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 07:18:44 +0200 Hello! I wanted to try real alternative and I had since earlier realplayer installed and functioning. When I installed real alternative it detected I had realplayer and advised to uninstall it and I let it do the thing and continued with the installation. The problem is that real alternative never worked for me and I couldn't open for example http://www.acbradio.org/mainstream.ram it kept saying error but never stated what error it was. I uninstalled it and reinstalled realplayer but although I am online and can work on the internet as usual, realplayer doesn't detect my online status and cannot open any streaming site including acb radio, I went into preferences and connection but it cannot detect my online status. I am aware real alternative wasn't detecting it either, how can I solve this problem now for realplayer and for alternative? Thanks, George. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
