I'm not sure if this directly relates, but I tried Media Player Classic and
liked it but found it just a tad buggy - nothing too serious as I recall -
so I removed it. As for Real Alternative and the other Alternatives, why
bother? Just download the old version of the *real* Real Player, and be
done with it. Why Mickey Mouse around with the Alternative substitutes?
The old Real Player works fine, and is non invasive.

Haven't we been down this road before???? :-)

I am using RealAlternativePlayer which utilizes Media Player Classic
version
6.4.7.5. *Many* times, upon playing a music file(s) of various types such
as
.ram, .wmv, .ra, .rm, and so forth, and I desire to close the player, it
closes, and thereafter a message box of the "This program has performed an
illegal op, and will now close" variety will appear. The thing is, I *am*
in
the process of closing it, so *"It can't Fire me, because I Quit"*. (hehe)
But why would it do that when I am in fact trying to close it already?
Seems
to be closing the barn door after the horse is gone, so it's just plain
annoying. Is it just a buggy program? Have any other users out there had
this occur? What, if anything, can be done to fix that unnecessary extra
step?
