About RealAlternative Player
Figured I'd ask here; can always post in Multimedia if no Wizards or common
program users are about. (W98se/P4 2.0 GHz. processor/ 1 GB Sdram/ 22 GB empty HD space) 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? -- LuckyStrike -------------------------------------------------------------------- |

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???? :-) LuckyStrike wrote: Figured I'd ask here; can always post in Multimedia if no Wizards or common program users are about.

Version 8. I looked at the real exe file date, and it was back in 2001 !
Works fine for me. But I wouldn't go much later (in versions) if I were you. BTW, I expect you could probably find it at oldversion.com, but I haven't checked it out. As for my other comment: I want to add that I found Media Player Classic to be damn good - and very remarkable, considering it was freeware. It's just that I seem to recall there were a few inconsistent (but only small order) nuances, when I used it. I'd be interested in hearing how it works out for you. Considering what it does, and that it is free, it is quite remarkable! I may go back and try it again, for that matter. LuckyStrike wrote: Ahhh, the Real "Real" Wizard has appeared.

Well... a more confusing nomenclature and version numbering system would be
hard to find. In fact I'd say there's something "shifty" about their version and numbering system. OK... on Disk I have saved the following versions of Realplayer: RealPlayer10Gold - version 6.0.12.857 - (9.72MB) (mar 30, 2004) RealOnePlayer version 2.0 - RealOnePlayerV2GOLD.exe - version 7.0.0.2151 - (8.27MB) -(Jan. 22 2004) RealOnePlayer version 1.0 - RealOnePlayerGold.exe - version 7.0.0.1364 - (8.65MB) -(aug 15, 2002) RealPlayer 8 - rp8-setup.exe - version 6.0.9.665 - (4.89MB) 4.6 MB (©1995-2000) RealPlayer 7 - rp7-standard-setup.exe - version 6.0.8.122 - (7.08MB) (Size: 3636 KB) (©1995-2000) RealPlayer G2 (version 6) r32_g20_3sm.exe - version 6.0.6.99 - (3.06MB) -(Size: 3.1 MB) (©1995-1999) RealPlayer 5 -rp32_50.exe Private Build:5.0.0.77 - (1.35MB) (©1995-1997) RealPlayer 4 - rp32_401.exe version 4.0.20.126 - (1.13MB) (©Progressive Networks 1995-1) RealAudio Player 3 - ra32_30.exe version 3.0.1.15 - (752KB) (©Progressive Networks 1995, 1996) Their sizes are also very hard to follow, and somewhat contradictory as well.g Oddly enough, RP8 (ver. 6.09.665) is smaller in size than RP7, but RP6 is smaller than either of its successors. Anyway, I presume one of the middle group of three would be what you might recommend. I'm kind of tempted to try RPG2 (version6) as it is the smallest.

I used rp8-setup.exe (BASIC). My exe is about 5 MB in filesize.
And under properties, mine also says version 6.0.9.665 I forgot to mention that - I always use BASIC (not the extended bells and whistles version). I think that's it! Now, let me know how Media Player Classic works out for ya over the weeks, if ya get a chance to really play around with it.

Right then Bill. ;-) I'll let you know what develops. As far as almost any
program, I mostly do "custom" installs. Definitely should be the case with RP which wants to download and install the "entire world", and particularly any "Here, let us *help* you, we just have to phone home" program. Lol. by the way, speaking of Smokey you might want to check this out: http://www.terrificmusic.com/index_long.html PS: that singingfish I told you about quite a while back has been "commandeered" by A-(h)OL. So it ain't what it formerly was. Do you perchance have any personal contact with any of the regular posters here?

Definitely should be the case with RP which wants to download and install the "entire world", and any "Here, let us *help* you, we just have to phone home" program. I turned that damn option OFF (and the upgrade request). Once in awhile it may resurrect its ugly head (like a couple of other programs I have here). I just check "Later". Yeah, it's funny how some programs ignore one's command for certain features to stay "shut-off". RP is certainly one of them. Haven't listened to much online music recently. Remember, I'm on a dial up modem. I listen off line as a rule. Very, very rarely online. I *know* what you mean. DSL here (as you may recall) but rarely listen on-line. And therefore, have a dislike for a certain kind of media. snip As I said, I don't do the online music scene.
