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..........................

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
