Kbarger,

I uninstalled that beast ONCE on a Windows 2000 box.

It took registry Hacking to do it (HKLM\Software\Real etc...).

It also took some HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT file extension hacking.

In addition, I uninstalled, and deleted the directories.

Real makes evil software. They make Windows Media Player 7.1 look good by comparison, and that says a lot.

The only computer I saw it installed on was because the ex-Diginexus employee used it to view his videos from milfhunter.com (Definately not safe for work!).

I hope you have the mind to never install that beast again. Some things are better left uninstalled.
