      So what do you think the problem is with those mp4 videos not synching properly? Lack of MPC updates? Windows drivers? Processor deficiency?
      Sometimes I use Firefox to "open with", it opens in my MPC and doesn't synch, then I have to stop and close it, go to the 'temp downloads' folder and rename the mp4 to mpg and start it again - now it goes with my WMP and o'k.

        RealPlayer hasn't been updated for years, and was always a resource hog in my experience too, so I would certainly get rid of it.

        Right.
        Just browsed through my Programs panel in the "Start" menu - didn't find the "Uninstall" option. Found RealPlayer in the "Installing and Deleting Programs" thing: should I proceed there?
        How deep must this player thing be rooted? Anything to expect?

        Yes, just uninstall it using the Add/Remove Programs dialogue.
        It will probably leave loads of cr*p behind, but nothing of any consequence hopefully.
        😃

          Did you try installing VLC?

            No, not yet. Shoes.
            Buy a new pair? When a few older pairs - might just need repair?:)

                I think it means he'd rather not install something new if there's any way to move forward with fixing/tweaking what he's already got on the system... not an uncommon preference where old hardware is concerned. (And/or where 'old' users are concerned, as well. 😉 😃 )

                  LOL, yes I guess so, Josh has a style all his own!
                  😃
                  I for one would not keep something as old as RealPlayer now though, when VLC is far more up to date, and works fine on my XP system.

                      Ripened yesterday to eventually uninstall the Real. Rebooted afterwards...:)

                      So far so good. I had had YouTube videos having stopped working in Opera 36, decided it could be because of some junk plugins my 360 had found for a clean-up. So I cleaned it up and concluded I could part with the Real the same time... :rip: 🙂
