Try using IE instead of Firefox.

Did you try watching an episode in Real Player? If you haven't, try this: Click on an episode (use one of the free tv-shows until you have solved the problem) and copy the link in the pop up window. Open Real Player and paste the link in File - Open - OK. Did you lose points? Read the information in this post.

thanks i took your advice. the window would pop up but not load but the url address was on top and copy and pasted it- i manually went into my realplayer (i have it on my desktop) and entered it in the url space and it worked...thanks! an extra step but at least it works [ Last edited by brokengirl01 at 2-8-2009 13:44 ]

I am having this trouble on ie it was driving me nuts because it was the same anywhere that hosted realplayer

So now for watching I use firefox and have no trouble at all.

Something has changed lately. The RP plugin loads but I have to click on the play arrow. Video doesn't start automatically like it used to. Not sure if the same happens for people using windows though. Hey, maybe that's why my index looks exhausted! All this clicking!

I have Windows Vista and IE has been giving me heck with realplayer so I use firefox now just for viewing.
