Windows Forum / Windows XP / Music / September 2007RealPlayer has taken over my PC!!!
Help - RealPlayer has taken over my PC!!! Please can someone advise. Ever since installing RealPlayer I can't switch to using Windows Media Player for WMA / WMV files. If I attempt to re-associate these files with WMP using the Windows Explorer / Folder Options / File Types when I next log back into my account RealPlayer has taken over again. And the problem with RP is that it crashes whenever it opens a WMA / WMV file. How can I associate these files with WMP - permanently. Everything I've tried does not last - RP keeps taking over. Many thanks - C.J.Brady "Chris J Brady" <cjb@chrisjbrady.demon.co.uk> wrote > Help - RealPlayer has taken over my PC!!! Uninstall RealPlayer and any other "Real" software and roll back to a restore point before the installation took place. Real products are invasive and arrogant. There is no content offered in Real format that could entice me to install them on any system I'm in charge of.  SignatureBob http://www.kanyak.com Many thanks you for your advice - I have done precisely that - I removed RealPlayer completely - and then during the re-install when asked if I wanted RP to be the default player I said 'no.'' YET IT STILL INSTALLED ITSELF AS THE DEFAULT!!!!!!! And it still crashes on WMV files. Trouble is there is some streaming audio / video that I do need - such as that from BBC Radio 7. No other player seems to play these.
