Thanks, Mates...I think I get it, but:
I occasionally do view stuff on Real Player. Does knocking it off preclude
that forever? Does another "player" in my box step in, in its place?
Or, do I download that link Brian suggested, in lieu of the real RP?

Back at the low tech ranch, I have RP on my 'puter back on the Mtn,
but it never "pops up"; did I do something wrong on this 'puter?

Stuff like this drives me nuts...and when one digs on the net for help,
there are pages of not very helpful sites, mostly pitching their version
of spyware removal. (I use Ad Aware).

NEway, appreciate the opins...
I don't know how the "average" idiot can even keep his box & systems
running. It seems it gets more complex by the day, and I really work at
staying slightly savvy and running a clean machine.
