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. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
