RealPlayer without nag screens

**katiebuglove** · 08-09-2011

Can any point me to a RealPlayer that doesn't have the nag screens? I found one on the BBC site that claims not to have any nags at all, but when I downloaded it, I ended up with V1.4, with the nag screens that won't let me convert video to mp3. Any help at all is appreciated.

Hi Katie

Helpful tips

First heads up Real Player been sued check the link (CNN.com - Microsoft, Real face 'spyware' probe - June 17, 2002).

So, when installing, don't install anything but the basic player, don't opt for any additional "services", don't allow it to "preserve file associations" (which means "use RealPlayer to play all my media), don't allow it to put an icon in your start-up menu or anywhere in your desktop.

After you've installed, hit the start, run and then type "msconfig" and remove RealPlayer from your start-up menu. Otherwise, RealPlayer will launch in the background every time you boot up.

It's been a while, but I think that every time you subsequently use RealPlayer it goes ahead and "unticks" the box allows itself to run upon boot-up again. You have to go into msconfig each time after you run RealPlayer in order to remove it from the boot-up process.

Have a Nice Day

I've been trying to download an older version of Realplayer. I've removed every trace of it off my system before I try and no matter which older version I pick I get the latest one with all the nag screens. When installing, it doesn't give me any choices but the full version. It just speeds through the process without asking me anything. I tried to download the BBC Gold (without nags) but still got v14 anyway. So, my next question is: Is there a player out there that downloads videos from You Tube and extracts the music as a wav or mp3 file?

Thanks for help!

I'm not sure what you're asking. I want a program that lets me download videos and extract the music track, either in a wav or mp3?
