It seems RealPlayer latest version is not free anymore(only trial 14 days).
Anywhere I can download the free one?
 
Re: RealPlayer - any free

Download the basic RealPlayer software 100% free. This software will
download from Google's fast servers. Google Pack will easily install
RealPlayer on your PC.

OR

If you sign-up for a free trial of Real's premium service SuperPass, they
will give you the RealPlayer Plus ($20 value) for free. Credit card is
required but won't be charged during the 14-day free trial. You are free to
cancel within 14 days to avoid any charges. If you cancel, the player is
yours to keep.

But Kenny, that isn't waht the OP asked .......
No-one else has actually asnswered him so here is
the link for the FREE Real Player version
(Genuine and NOT and old / alternate version etc.)
NO Credit Card is required !

http://tinyurl.com/2op9gq
(The original URL is so very long)

Please pay attention to ALL the options at install
time and make sure that you untick all the boxes
for all the additional bloatware that you will not
need or want. Make sure that the player does
not grab all the file associations by unchecking
those boxes in the options that are not needed etc.

Well Ron,
you claim to have been a "MS MVP" for ten years, and yet
you still are top posting multiple messages, once again making
it difficult to follow, for the "Lurkers".

Aside from that your "advice" is confusing and actually did
not answer the OP's question. You answered some other
question.

At the risk of boring the onlookers in the Forum................

OP. Wrote ............
"It seems RealPlayer latest version is not free anymore(only trial 14 days).
Anywhere I can download the free one? "

You wrote advising that the OP should either install some
Google pack bloatware or give over credit card for the
Real Player Spam / pressure sales service., and Oh yes
if he remember in time, aad go through a whole
rigmarole, he can get some old cut down version of
the previous pay version free.

The other Top Posting so called MVP gave a link
to an archive of older versions of Real players,
which contained the warning...................

"Note: These are old versions of our player software
and in most cases they are no longer supported."

This may be alright for the geek-like among us
but for the OP, I feared that this was not only
confusing (which version to choose ?), but also
once again not really answer the OP's question.
I mean he did ask for the "Latest Version".

Obviously the latest Version will be the Beta
of version 11 which is available free, and therefore
fills the criteria of the OP, without any other
bloatware.

The OP then asked if you had tried this,
to which you replied ..........

"Nope--don't use the product."

which obviosly completely baffled
the OP, considering his reply.

So you recommended a product / link
which did not actually fit any of the
criteria requested, by the OP, and one that
you admit to having never tried, and
finally after having confused the OP,
and totally ignoring Forum Posting
sequence etiquette by continually top
posting, you criticise myself for actually
posting a link which did fill all
of the criteria that the OP asked for.


Good grief !

Anyway here is the link I gave again for the
Lost and Confused..........................

http://tinyurl.com/2op9gq

Real Player version 11 Beta,
Free !!!!!!!
Latest Version !!!!!!

Good Luck :-)

I shall not reply to further posts in this
thread unless the OP should specifically
like to ask a specific question.

............... John
 
Re: RealPlayer - any free

So you're telling people who may not have too much computer experience to
put Beta software on their machines, will you also help them when this
Beta software trashes their machines or causes other problems ?

Re: RealPlayer - any free

Answers in line.

> Well Ron,
> you claim to have been a "MS MVP" for ten years,

No claim about it John--it is a matter of record. If you use google.com,
you can see my first post as an MVP was made on 1 Jul 97 in a W95 newsgroup.

> you still are top posting multiple messages, once again making

It is you bottom posters that make things difficult in my view but I don't
complain about it nor chastise people for bottom posting. Top posting is
only difficult if that's the way you make it. When I read a thread, I do
not start in middle--I start with the original post. Then, if the next
poster is a top poster, I immediately see what that person has to say
instead of having to scroll down to read the post. What's so difficult
about that? As a matter of interest (or maybe not), I started out as a
bottom poster and at some point in time I saw that I did not like following
somebody else's stupid rule so I changed.

Confusing to whom--you? The rest of your statement is incorrect.

I did not advise him to install anything. I gave him complete information
on how to get what he wanted plus additional information on the deluxe
version. He did not list any qualifications except that it had to be free.
That qualification was met.

> The other Top Posting so called MVP gave a link

Off topic--does not apply to me. Looks to me like you have something
against MVPs.

You are unbelievable--recommending a BETA program that undoubtedly expires
and may be full of bugs and then having the nerve to criticize other
posters' recommendations. Outstanding, John--just outstanding !!!!!!

> The OP then asked if you had tried this,
> to which you replied ..........

> "Nope--don't use the product."

> which obviosly completely baffled

My answer could have been clearer: Nope--*I* don't use the product. But,
there really was no reason for confusion. If I did not want him to use the
product, why would I tell him where to get it? And, if I thought he should
not use it, I would have provided a well reasoned argument supporting my
position and not just said, "don't use the product."

> So you recommended a product / link
> which did not actually fit any of the
> criteria requested, by the OP,

I did not recommend a product--I told him where to get it. His only
criteria was FREE: the criteria was met.

>and one that you admit to having never tried,

What do you want me to do, lie and say I use it? He is the one that wants
to use it so what point are you trying to make?

and
> finally after having confused the OP,

> posting,

The etiquette must have been written by some brain dead person who decided
that his way was best. It was probably the same person who decided typing
in all CAPS is shouting rather than what it really is: hard to read. I
don't agree bottom posting is the best method nor will I ever comply with
it. If you want to be a follower of an idiotic "rule," that is your
prerogative.

> you criticise myself for actually
> posting a link which did fill all

I was not critical of you, period. You made a false statement, "No-one
(sic) else has actually asnswered (sic) him so here is the link for the FREE
Real Player version," and I called you on it--nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks, I appreciate that.
